Why ICD-10 codes are important
ICD-10 is the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD), a medical classification list by the World Health Organization (WHO). It contains codes for diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or diseases.

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-.
911.0 - Abrasion or friction burn of trunk, without mention of infection.
S01.81XAICD-10-CM Code for Laceration without foreign body of other part of head, initial encounter S01. 81XA.
Laceration – This wound refers to a deep cut or tearing of the skin, mainly from accidents with knives, tools, and machinery.
Category 1b: A skin tear where the edges can be realigned to the normal anatomical position. (without undue stretching) and the skin or flap color is pale, dusky or darkened. Category 1 should be coded as superficial wounds.
Friction burns. When a hard object rubs off some of your skin, you have what's called a friction burn. It's both an abrasion (scrape) and a heat burn. These are common in motorcycle and bike accidents. Carpet burn is another type of friction burn.
917.0 - Abrasion or friction burn of foot and toe(s), without mention of infection | ICD-10-CM.
Friction burn treatment Minor friction burns, such as first-degree burns, can be treated at home by running lukewarm water over the affected area and then covering it with a pain-relieving antibacterial topical ointment or cream. Burns that have developed blistering should be seen by a medical professional.
A facial laceration is a cut or tear in the soft tissue of your face or neck. Injuries to the face, head and neck, including lacerations, abrasions, hematomas and facial fractures, account for a large number of emergency room visits. Many of these injuries may be repaired by emergency room physicians.
Burn Wound Burn wounds can be classified based on the extent of the injury: First-degree burns affect only the epidermis and may cause redness and pain. Second-degree burns affect the epidermis and the dermis and may cause blisters. Third-degree burns reach into the fatty layer under the skin and may destroy nerves.
