Lacerat flexor musc/fasc/tend l mid fngr at forarm lv, subs

This code signifies a tear or cut involving the flexor muscles, their surrounding fascia, and the tendons of the left middle finger, with the injury located at the forearm level. This indicates damage to the structures responsible for bending the middle finger, occurring proximal to the wrist. The "D" suffix specifies that this is a subsequent encounter for the injury.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient who previously sustained a laceration to the flexor muscle, fascia, and tendon of their left middle finger at the forearm. This includes visits for wound care, cast changes, physical therapy, or monitoring healing progress after the initial treatment. It is appropriate for any encounter after the initial active treatment phase.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the left middle finger and the forearm level of the injury.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment, due to the "D" seventh character.
• Confirm that all three structures (muscle, fascia, and tendon) are documented as lacerated.
