ICD-10-CM Code for Personal history of other (healed) physical injury and trauma Z87. 828.
Activity codes are found in category Y93. They are used to describe the patient's activity at the time of the injury. External cause status codes are found in category Y99.
A gunshot wound is a puncture wound. Puncture wounds do not bleed much unless a blood vessel has been injured. However, an object that goes into the soft tissues beneath the skin can carry germs deep into the body.
Gunshot wounds are complex, violent, traumatic injuries commonly encountered in forensic practice. These injuries are caused by penetration of the body with projectiles ejected from a barrel due to the ignition of gunpowder. The study of these injuries is also called wound ballistics.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code Y99. 8: Other external cause status.
External cause of injury codes are used to define environmental events, circumstances and conditions such as the cause of injury, poisoning, and other adverse effects related to injury morbidity and mortality.
To code skin tears, begin in the alphabetic index under “INJURY, SUPERFICIAL,” and iden- tify the site of the injury. For example, if the patient has a skin tear because he or she has hit a leg on a wheelchair, look up Injury, Su- perficial, leg, which takes you to S80. 92-.
A laceration has jagged, irregular edges and its severity depends on its cause, size, depth, and location. A skin tear is a specific type of laceration that most often affects older adults, in which friction alone or friction plus shear separates skin layers.
The types of open wounds classified in ICD-10-CM are laceration without foreign body, laceration with foreign body, puncture wound without foreign body, puncture wound with foreign body, open bite, and unspecified open wound. For instance, S81. 812A Laceration without foreign body, right lower leg, initial encounter.
If the platysma is intact, the wound is considered superficial and only requires local wound care. If the injury is a PNI, surgery should be consulted immediately while the case is being managed. Of note, wounds should not be explored on the field or in the emergency department given the risk of exacerbating the wound.
Ballistic trauma is trauma sustained from any type of firearms or munitions. The speed of the impact as well as the surface area of the projectile are the critical components that create the difference between blunt and ballistic trauma fracture patterns.
