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-.
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.

ICD-10-CM is very specific and many easy-to-adapt codes such as non-healing wounds have been replaced by dedicated categories. Use T81. 89X (A, D, or S) along with a secondary code for the complication/manifestation.
