Traum rupt of collat ligmt of r idx fngr at MCP/IP jt, subs

Traumatic rupture of collateral ligament of right index finger at metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joint, subsequent encounter

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies a traumatic tear of a collateral ligament in the right index finger, affecting either the joint connecting the finger to the hand (metacarpophalangeal) or the joints within the finger itself (interphalangeal). This specific code is for encounters following the initial treatment phase.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code for follow-up visits, rehabilitation sessions, or subsequent evaluations for a patient who previously sustained a traumatic collateral ligament rupture in their right index finger. This includes monitoring healing, assessing range of motion, or managing ongoing symptoms after the acute injury has been addressed.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure documentation specifies "right index finger" and "collateral ligament" involvement.
Confirm the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial injury treatment.
Verify the injury is traumatic in nature, not degenerative or spontaneous.
