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:
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.).
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.
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.
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. Punctures: Small, rounded wounds that result from needles, nails, teeth (bites), or other tapered objects.
The puncture wounds on the patient’s hands are not gaping and I think the risks outweigh the benefits of any type of suture closure. The wounds are quite small and I think suturing them would likely increase their risk of infection. IMPRESSION: Dog bite.
