Walked into furniture, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from a previous incident where a patient walked into a piece of furniture. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but residual issues related to that impact persist. This could include chronic pain, limited range of motion, or neurological deficits.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing health problems directly attributable to a past collision with furniture. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters where the acute injury has healed, but the patient continues to experience sequelae. Do not use for the initial acute injury.

• Always sequence this code after the code identifying the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scar formation).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the prior incident of walking into furniture.
• This code is for external cause of morbidity and should be used as a secondary code to provide context for the primary diagnosis.
