According to all the educational materials I can find, however, liver lacerations are on a grading scale (grades 1-5). How does your institution code the liver laceration if they only give measurements of the lacerations? A: To start, the ICD-10-CM Tabular List gives the measurements for each of the three definitions.
Major laceration of liver 1 Laceration with significant disruption of hepatic parenchyma [i.e., greater than 10 cm long and 3 cm deep]. 2 Multiple moderate lacerations, with or without hematoma. 3 Stellate laceration of liver.
More than one grade of liver injury may be present and should be classified by the higher grade of injury. Advance one grade for multiple injuries up to grade III. *Advance one grade for multiple injuries up to grade III.
This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S36.116 - other international versions of ICD-10 S36.116 may differ. Laceration with significant disruption of hepatic parenchyma [i.e., greater than 10 cm long and 3 cm deep] Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury.
grade IV. laceration: parenchymal disruption involving 25-75% hepatic lobe or involves 1-3 Couinaud segments. vascular injury with active bleeding breaching the liver parenchyma into the peritoneum.
The WSES position paper suggested dividing hepatic traumatic lesions into minor (grade I, II), moderate (grade III) and major/severe (grade IV, V, VI) [6]. This classification has not previously been clearly defined by the literature.

A grade III laceration is characterized by a laceration that is > 3 cm of parenchymal depth, a subcapsular hematoma that is > 50% surface area of ruptured subcapsular or parenchymal hematoma, and an intraparenchymal hematoma that is > 10 cm or expanding. 13.
Grade 4: Laceration involving the collecting system with urine leakage, injury to blood vessels going into the kidney, or injury to the kidney pelvis where the urine funnels into the ureter This grade laceration will likely require a surgical procedure depending on nature of injury.
Women were first trained and inducted by the Indian Army in 1992 for short service commission. However permanent commission is granted to women officers of the army in two branches: education and law.
Grade 4: Laceration involving the collecting system with urinary extravasation; any segmental renal vascular injury; renal infarction; renal pelvis laceration and/or ureteropelvic disruption.

A liver or spleen laceration is a cut, tear, or puncture in your liver or spleen. These injuries may or may not happen at the same time.
Grade I: hematoma: subcapsular <10% surface area; laceration: capsular tear <1 cm parenchymal depth. Grade II: hematoma: subcapsular 10-50% surface area; intraparenchymal <10 cm diameter; laceration: capsular tear 1-3 cm parenchymal depth, <10 cm in length.
Minor: Laceration involving capsule only or without significant involvement of hepatic parenchyma (less than one centimeter deep) Moderate: Laceration involving parenchyma but without major disruption of parenchyma (less than 10 centimeters long and less than three centimeters deep)

Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
If you are in a situation where the laceration is less than 10 centimeters long but more than 3 centimeters deep, you should query the provider on internal organ injuries if they were documented using the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) grading scale.
Minor: Laceration involving capsule only or without significant involvement of hepatic parenchyma (less than one centimeter deep) Moderate: Laceration involving parenchyma but without major disruption of parenchyma (less than 10 centimeters long and less than three centimeters deep)
Q: According to our software vendor, you can only code liver lacerations as minor, moderate, or major. According to all the educational materials I can find, however, liver lacerations are on a grading scale (grades 1-5). How does your institution code the liver laceration if they only give measurements of the lacerations?
According to 3M you can only code as minor, moderate, or major. However, according to all educational materials, liver lacerations are on a grading scale (grades 1-5) .
The ICD-10-CM Tabular lists measurements for each of the three definitions. There is also a 3M Nosology note in the encoder. Coders are instructed to follow these guides and should query if the documentation doesn't provide a laceration depth/length.
Abdominal trauma is an injury to the abdomen. It may be blunt or penetrating and may involve damage to the abdominal organs. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, rigidity, and bruising of the external abdomen. Abdominal trauma presents a risk of severe blood loss and infection.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code S36.113A and a single ICD9 code, 864.05 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
