Contusion of fallopian tube, unilateral, initial encounter

This code signifies a bruise or superficial injury to a single fallopian tube, without a laceration or rupture. It indicates trauma to the adnexa that results in tissue damage but maintains the integrity of the tube.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a documented contusion of one fallopian tube following an injury. This is appropriate for the initial visit where the injury is first evaluated and treated.

• Ensure documentation specifies "contusion" and "unilateral" for the fallopian tube.
• Confirm this is the patient's first encounter for this specific injury.
• Look for associated external cause codes to fully describe the circumstances of the injury.
