Main term entries in the ICD-10-CM index for open wounds can be either the type of wound (e.g., puncture), or the term wound, open. Using either term will allow the coder to find the correct type of wound and anatomical location by using the indented subterms. For example, if you look up puncture wound of the abdomen in the index using the main term Wound, open and then go to the subterms Abdomen, wall, puncture, an instructional note will guide you to “see” Puncture, abdomen, wall.#N#Example 1:
Type of wound — Open wounds include: Abrasions: Shallow, irregular wounds of the upper layers of skin. Caused by skin brushing with either a rough surface or a smooth surface at high speed. Usually present with minor to no bleeding, with some pain that subsides shortly after initial injury.
ER COURSE: The wound was cleaned with Betadine solution and normal saline and dried. Dermabond was applied to wound, with edges well approximated. Then, Steri-Strips were applied to wound.
Penetrating wounds can be life threatening, causing serious injury, especially if involving vital organs, major blood vessels, or nerves. Gunshot wounds: These are considered to be penetrating wounds that are exclusively caused by bullets from firearms (guns, rifles, etc.).
Punctures: Small, rounded wounds that result from needles, nails, teeth (bites), or other tapered objects. The wound size, depth, bleeding, and pain relate to the size and force of the causative object. Penetrating: Caused by any object or force that breaks through the skin to the underlying organs or tissue.
Incisions: Typically the result of a sharp object such as a scalpel, knife, or scissors. Mostly linear with sharp, smooth edges. Depending on the depth and site of the wound, an incision can be life threatening, especially if it involves vital organs, major blood vessels, or nerves.
Lacerations are generally caused by trauma or contact with an object. Incisions: Typically the result of a sharp object such as a scalpel, knife, or scissors.
