Lacerat flexor musc/fasc/tend r idx fngr at wrs/hnd lv, sqla

This code signifies a chronic or late effect of a laceration involving the flexor muscles, fascia, and tendons of the right index finger. This injury occurred at the wrist or hand level, indicating damage to the structures responsible for bending the index finger. The "sequela" designation means the patient is presenting for treatment of a complication or residual condition directly resulting from the initial laceration, rather than the acute injury itself.

Use this code when documenting conditions such as chronic pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, or nerve damage that are a direct consequence of a previously sustained laceration to the flexor structures of the right index finger. This applies to follow-up visits for long-term management, rehabilitation, or surgical intervention addressing these persistent issues.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past laceration of the specified anatomical site.
• Do not use for acute lacerations; those require acute injury codes.
• Consider additional codes for specific complications (e.g., nerve entrapment, chronic pain, scar contracture) if documented.
