Lacerat flexor musc/fasc/tend r mid fngr at wrs/hnd lv, init

This code signifies a tear or cut involving the flexor muscle, its surrounding fascia, and the tendon of the right middle finger. The injury is located specifically within the wrist and hand region. This indicates damage to the structures responsible for bending the middle finger.

This code is appropriate for documenting an acute injury to the flexor structures of the right middle finger at the wrist/hand level, such as from a sharp object or trauma. It should be used for the initial treatment of such a laceration. Subsequent encounters for follow-up care or complications would require a different seventh character.

• Confirm the specific finger (middle), side (right), and anatomical level (wrist/hand) of the laceration.
• Ensure documentation specifies involvement of all three structures: flexor muscle, fascia, and tendon.
• Verify this is the patient's initial encounter for this specific injury.
