If all feeling (sensory) and all ability to control movement (motor function) are lost below the spinal cord injury, your injury is called complete. Incomplete. If you have some motor or sensory function below the affected area, your injury is called incomplete. There are varying degrees of incomplete injury.
The prognosis for spinal cord injuries varies depending on the severity of the injury. There is always hope of recovering some function with spinal cord injuries. The completeness and location of the injury will determine the prognosis. There are two levels of completeness in spinal cord injuries which impact the outlook:

A complete spinal cord injury causes permanent damage to the area of the spinal cord that is affected. Paraplegia or tetraplegia are results of complete spinal cord injuries. An incomplete spinal cord injury refers to partial damage to the spinal cord.

129 for Central cord syndrome at unspecified level of cervical spinal cord is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
ICD-10-CM Code for Paraplegia (paraparesis) and quadriplegia (quadriparesis) G82.
The current code, M54. 5 (Low back pain), will be expanded into three more specific codes: M54. 50 (Low back pain, unspecified)
The new diagnosis code – M54. 51 – went into effect on October 1, 2021. This code will be applied to patients meeting indications for treatment with basivertebral nerve radiofrequency neurotomy.
Definition. Central cord syndrome is the most common form of incomplete spinal cord injury characterized by impairment in the arms and hands and to a lesser extent in the legs. The brain's ability to send and receive signals to and from parts of the body below the site of injury is reduced but not entirely blocked.
ICD-10 Code for Unspecified cord compression- G95. 20- Codify by AAPC.
(si-ring'gō-mī-ē'lē-ă) The presence in the spinal cord of longitudinal cavities lined by dense, gliogenous tissue, which are not caused by vascular insufficiency.
Unlike quadriplegia — which is a full paralysis or inability to move all four limbs — quadriparesis is characterized by overall weakness in your arms and legs, but you can still feel and move your limbs. Quadriparesis can be caused by illness or injury.
Paraparesis occurs when you're partially unable to move your legs. The condition can also refer to weakness in your hips and legs. Paraparesis is different from paraplegia, which refers to a complete inability to move your legs.
Complete paraplegia occurs when the damage to the spinal cord is severe enough to completely cut off all connections between the brain and areas below the level of injury. Individuals with complete paraplegia will have no motor control or feeling below their level of injury.
The ‘S’ is added only to the injury code, not the sequela code. The seventh character ‘S’ identifies the injury responsible for the sequela. The specific type of sequela (e.g. scar) is sequenced first, followed by the injury code.”.
There is no time limit on when a sequela code can be used. The residual effect may be present early or may occur months or years later. Two codes are generally required: one describing the nature of the sequela and one for the sequela. The code for the acute phase of the illness or injury is never reported with a code for the late effect.
Complete lesion at C2 level of cervical spinal cord, subsequent encounter 1 S14.112D is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 Short description: Complete lesion at C2 level of cervical spinal cord, subs 3 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM S14.112D became effective on October 1, 2020. 4 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S14.112D - other international versions of ICD-10 S14.112D may differ.
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.
