Strain flexor musc/fasc/tend l mid fngr at wrs/hnd lv, subs

This code signifies a non-traumatic injury to the flexor muscles, their surrounding fascia, and tendons specifically located in the left middle finger, affecting the wrist and hand region. It indicates a stretching or tearing of these tissues, but not a complete rupture.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care, such as physical therapy, medication refills, or re-evaluation, after an initial diagnosis and treatment of a flexor strain in the left middle finger. This code is appropriate for subsequent visits related to the healing and recovery process of the original injury.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "left middle finger" and "flexor muscle/tendon" involvement.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial injury or a new injury.
• Confirm the injury is a strain (partial tear) and not a complete rupture or avulsion.
