Burn 2nd deg mul sites of right lower limb, ex ank/ft, sqla

This code indicates a healed or residual effect from a second-degree burn that affected multiple areas of the right lower limb, excluding the ankle and foot. The burn itself is no longer an active injury, but its long-term consequences, such as scarring, contractures, or chronic pain, are being addressed.

Use this code when documenting the late effects or complications stemming from a second-degree burn to the right lower limb (e.g., thigh, knee, calf, shin) that occurred in the past. This is appropriate for follow-up care, rehabilitation, or treatment of chronic conditions directly attributable to the prior burn injury.

• Always use a seventh character of 'S' for sequela codes, indicating the long-term effects of a past injury.
• Ensure documentation clearly specifies the burn was second-degree and involved multiple sites on the right lower limb, excluding the ankle and foot.
• Code any current, active conditions or complications (e.g., hypertrophic scar, contracture) in addition to this sequela code.
