Spleen, Injury Of, Healed (VA Diagnostic Code 7707)
Understanding This Rating
Diagnostic Code: 7707 Condition: Spleen, injury of, healed Body System: Hemic and Lymphatic Systems Regulation: 38 CFR § 4.117
What This Condition Covers
Diagnostic Code 7707 addresses a healed injury of the spleen. The spleen is an organ that is part of the body's hemic and lymphatic systems. This diagnostic code applies specifically to injuries of the spleen that have healed.
How the VA Rates This Condition
Unlike some conditions that use a fixed set of percentage levels tied to specific symptoms, this code is rated based on its lasting effects. According to the rating criteria:
Rate for any residuals.
This means the VA does not assign a percentage to the healed spleen injury itself. Instead, it evaluates any residuals — the ongoing effects or complications that remain after the injury has healed — and rates those.
What the VA Looks For
When evaluating a healed spleen injury under Diagnostic Code 7707, the VA focuses on identifying and rating any residuals connected to the injury. The evaluation centers on the lasting effects that remain rather than the healed injury on its own.
These criteria are a rendering of § 4.117, diagnostic code 7707. The official version is the one that governs your rating.
