This code signifies an injury to the flexor muscles, fascia, or tendons of the right index finger, specifically occurring at the forearm level. This injury is not further specified as a laceration, rupture, or other more specific type.

Use this code for initial encounters involving a patient presenting with an unspecified injury to the flexor structures of the right index finger, where the injury site is anatomically located within the forearm. This would include strains, sprains, or contusions to these structures.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the right index finger and the forearm level of injury.
• Verify that the injury is to the flexor structures, not extensor.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for this specific injury. Subsequent care would require a different 7th character.
