Pnctr w/o fb of l little finger w/o damage to nail, init

This code describes a penetrating injury to the left little finger, caused by a sharp object, that does not involve a retained foreign body. The wound is characterized by a small entry point and does not affect the fingernail or nail bed. This is for the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code for a patient presenting with a fresh puncture wound to the left little finger, such as from a needle, thorn, or small splinter that did not break off. This applies when the physician confirms no foreign material remains in the wound and the nail structure is intact.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "without foreign body" and "without damage to nail."
• Verify the encounter is the initial treatment for this specific injury.
• Confirm the injury location is precisely the left little finger.
