Unspecified injury of dorsal vein of left foot, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or late effect resulting from an unspecified injury to a dorsal vein in the left foot. This could encompass chronic pain, swelling, or functional impairment that persists after the initial acute injury has healed. The specific nature of the original injury to the vein is not documented.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing symptoms directly attributable to a past, unspecified injury of a dorsal vein in the left foot. This applies when the acute phase of the injury has passed, and the current encounter addresses the residual complications or sequelae. It is appropriate for follow-up visits addressing chronic issues stemming from such an injury.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) describing the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, lymphedema).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past dorsal vein injury of the left foot.
• Avoid using this code for acute injuries; instead, use the appropriate acute injury code from the S95.202 series.
