V58.43: This codes for the aftercare following injury, but is the closest thing to a icd9 for healed wound that we have.

I'm not a coding : Expert but i think you'd use it by type and by anatomic location code for a laceration only not the state of healing. This is for diagnosis not the treatment used.
