## 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.
