Injured by rotating propeller, sequela

This code indicates a long-term health condition or complication resulting from a previous injury caused by a rotating propeller. It signifies that the acute injury has resolved, but its lasting effects, such as chronic pain, disfigurement, or functional impairment, are still present and require ongoing medical attention.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's current medical condition that is a direct consequence of an old propeller injury. This includes scenarios where a patient is being treated for chronic issues like nerve damage, amputation sequelae, or significant scarring that originated from such an incident.

• Always use in conjunction with a code describing the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar, amputation status).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past propeller injury.
• Do not use for the initial acute injury; this code is exclusively for residual effects.
