Strain flxr musc/fasc/tend r little fngr at forarm lv, sqla

This code signifies a chronic or late-effect condition resulting from a previous injury to the flexor muscles, fascia, or tendons of the right little finger, specifically at the forearm level. It indicates persistent symptoms or complications arising from an earlier strain in this anatomical region.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing pain, weakness, limited range of motion, or other residual issues in the right little finger's flexor mechanism at the forearm, and the provider explicitly links these symptoms to a past strain. This applies when the initial acute injury has resolved, but its long-term consequences are being addressed.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the current condition is a sequela of a previous strain, not an acute injury.
• Verify the affected digit is the little finger and the injury site is at the forearm level.
• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the underlying condition or symptom being treated, if applicable.
