Unsp injury of blood vessel of right little finger, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or late effect resulting from an unspecified injury to a blood vessel in the right little finger. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but residual issues related to the vascular damage persist.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing symptoms such as chronic pain, numbness, discoloration, or impaired circulation in the right little finger, directly attributable to a past, unspecified blood vessel injury. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these persistent sequelae after the acute phase of the original injury has passed.

• Always assign a "S" (sequela) seventh character for conditions that are the late effects of an injury.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current symptoms to a previous, unspecified blood vessel injury of the right little finger.
• Do not use this code for acute injuries; instead, use the appropriate acute injury code with the correct seventh character.
