The patient sustained a laceration of the dorsal aspect of his right index finger at the proximal interphalangeal joint. The wound measures about 1.5 cm in length. The wound was deep and lacerated the central slit of the extensor tendon over 80 percent. The tendon needed to be repaired; otherwise it would cause a deformity. PROCEDURE: 0.5 percent Marcaine was used as local anesthetic, and after anesthesia had been obtained, the hand was then prepped and draped in the usual manner. A tourniquet was then placed at the base of the finger. The wound then was explored. The extensor tendon was repaired with 5-0 PDS suture material. After completion, the skin was then closed with 5-0 nylon. The tourniquet was released. There was good perfusion throughout the finger. The dressing was applied. An aluminum splint was placed. The patient tolerated the ­procedure well. Assign ICD-10-PCS code(s) to the following case study
