Unsp inj flxr musc/fasc/tend r lit fngr at wrs/hnd lv, sqla

This code indicates a long-term effect or complication stemming from an unspecified injury to the flexor muscle, fascia, or tendon of the right little finger. The original injury occurred at the wrist or hand level, and the patient is now presenting with residual issues such as chronic pain, stiffness, weakness, or deformity.

Apply this code when documenting a patient encounter for a sequela (late effect) of a past, unspecified flexor injury to the right little finger. This is appropriate when the acute phase of the original injury has passed, and the current treatment addresses the lingering consequences.

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