Injury of unspecified uterine artery, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or late effect resulting from a past injury to an unspecified uterine artery. This could include issues like chronic pelvic pain, infertility, or abnormal uterine bleeding that are directly attributable to the original trauma. The "unspecified" nature means the specific artery (e.g., right or left) was not documented.

Apply this code when documenting a condition that is a residual effect of a previous injury to a uterine artery, and the acute injury itself has resolved. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters where the patient is being treated for the ongoing consequences of the original trauma, rather than the initial injury itself.

• Always assign an additional code to describe the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., N94.81 for chronic pelvic pain).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past uterine artery injury.
• This "S" seventh character indicates a sequela, meaning the patient is seen for complications or conditions arising from the original injury.
