A 26-year-old male was seen in the emergency room for a laceration to his right ring finger when a glass window he was installing on his job as a construction worker broke. After exploring the wound, the surgeon found a 100% laceration to the ulnar digital neurovascular bundle, which was repaired. The flexor digitorum profundus nerve had a 25% transverse laceration, which was also repaired. The flexor digitorum superficialis nerve had a partial ulnar slip laceration, but no repair was needed because the majority of it was intact. Select the appropriate CPT and ICD-10-CM codes.
