A laceration or cut refers to a skin wound. Unlike an abrasion, none of the skin is missing. A cut is typically thought of as a wound caused by a sharp object, like a shard of glass. Lacerations tend to be caused by blunt trauma.
ICD-10 code M79. 631 for Pain in right forearm is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Soft tissue disorders .
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.
In practice, skin tears are often referred to under the general terms of 'laceration' or 'cutaneous laceration'. However, a skin tear is a specific injury that is very different from a general laceration (which is defined by soft tissue tearing).
Skin tears are wounds that may look like large cuts or scrapes. They're considered acute wounds. This means they occur suddenly and typically heal in an expected fashion over time. However, for some people, skin tears can become complex, chronic wounds.

1CFor all patients, expert consensus recommends that clinicians perform a risk assessment for skin tears upon admission, daily (or periodically per facility policy) and after identification of an episode of ST to prevent new STs (Grade 1C) . [1] [6] [16]
The updated definition of a skin tear (ST) by the International Skin Tear Advisory Panel (ISTAP) is as follows: "Skin tear is a traumatic wound caused by mechanical forces, including removal of adhesives. Severity may vary by depth (not extending through the subcutaneous layer).” [1]
Category 1a: A skin tear where the edges can be realigned to the normal anatomical position. (without undue stretching) and the skin or flap color is not pale, dusky or darkened. Category 1b: A skin tear where the edges can be realigned to the normal anatomical position.
Category 2a: A skin tear where the edges cannot be realigned to the normal anatomical position and the skin or flap color is not pale, dusky or darkened. Category 2b: A skin tear where the edges cannot be realigned to the normal anatomical position and the skin or flap color is pale, dusky or darkened. Category 2 may be coded as traumatic open ...
CATEGORY 1: Skin tears without loss of tissue are subdivided into: Linear type , in which the epidermis and dermis are pulled in one layer from the supporting structure. Flat type, where the epidermis and dermis are separated, but the epidermis flap covers the dermis to within 1mm of the wound margins. Category 1a: A skin tear where the edges can be ...
According to OASIS guidelines, the care of skin tears is typically not covered by Medicare because the wound care is simple. There are certain circumstances where the skin tear may be coded as an open wound instead of superficial injury.
