Primary blast injury of fallopian tube, unilateral, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or late-effect complication stemming from a primary blast injury that specifically affected one fallopian tube. It indicates that the initial traumatic event, caused by an explosion, has resulted in a persistent health problem in the reproductive system.

Apply this code when documenting conditions such as chronic pain, infertility, or scarring of a single fallopian tube that are directly attributable to a primary blast injury sustained in the past. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these residual issues, not the initial acute injury.

• Always assign a secondary code to specify the exact nature of the sequela (e.g., N97.1 for female infertility of tubal origin).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past primary blast injury of the fallopian tube.
• Do not use this code for acute blast injuries; it is exclusively for sequelae.
