Other specified injury of popliteal vein, right leg, sequela

This code signifies a lasting health problem or condition resulting from a previous, specified injury to the popliteal vein in the right leg. It indicates that the acute phase of the original injury has passed, and the patient is now experiencing residual effects or complications.

Apply this code when documenting a chronic or late effect of a previously sustained, clearly defined injury to the right popliteal vein. This would include conditions such as post-thrombotic syndrome, chronic venous insufficiency, or persistent pain directly attributable to the old injury.

• Always ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past popliteal vein injury.
• This code is for the right leg only; verify laterality.
• Use in conjunction with other codes that specify the exact nature of the sequela (e.g., chronic venous insufficiency).
