Unsp open wound of r little finger w/o damage to nail, init

This code signifies an open injury to the right little finger that does not involve the nail bed or surrounding structures. It indicates a break in the skin, such as a cut or laceration, on the specified digit. The "unspecified" nature means the exact type of open wound (e.g., laceration, puncture) is not documented.

Apply this code for initial encounters where a patient presents with an open wound on their right little finger, and the medical record explicitly states no nail damage. This is appropriate when the specific type of open wound is not detailed, but the location and lack of nail involvement are clear. Use for new injuries requiring treatment.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right little finger" and explicitly excludes nail damage.
• Only use "unspecified" if a more specific open wound type (e.g., laceration, puncture) is not documented.
• Append the appropriate subsequent encounter or sequela character for follow-up visits.
