Inj flexor musc/fasc/tend r mid finger at forarm lv, init

This diagnosis code signifies an injury to the flexor muscles, their surrounding fascia, or their tendons in the right middle finger, specifically occurring at the forearm level. This injury is not a laceration or puncture, but rather another type of damage such as a strain, sprain, or contusion. The "initial encounter" designation indicates that the patient is receiving active treatment for this specific injury.

Use this code when documenting a patient's first visit for a non-laceration injury to the flexor structures of the right middle finger, with the injury's anatomical location being within the forearm. This would apply to cases like a muscle strain from overuse, a tendon sprain from a sudden forceful movement, or a contusion to these tissues.

• Verify that the injury is to the flexor structures and not the extensor structures.
• Confirm the injury's location is at the forearm level and not the hand or wrist.
• Ensure the injury is not a laceration or puncture wound, as those have specific codes.
