The signs and symptoms of wound infection can include increasing pain, swelling, and redness around the affected area. A person may be able to treat a mild infection of a small wound at home by recleaning and redressing the wound.

Wound dehiscence is a surgery complication where the incision, a cut made during a surgical procedure, reopens. It is sometimes called wound breakdown, wound disruption, or wound separation.
Sternal dehiscence is the process of separation of the bony sternum, which often is accompanied by mediastinitis (infection of the deep soft tissues). In thoracic and trunk reconstruction, plastic surgeons play a crucial role in addressing wound healing issues and reconstructive techniques of the chest wall.
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.
code 12020 (Treatment of superficial wound dehiscence; simple closure), which has a global period of 10 days, or. code 13160 (Secondary closure of surgical wound or dehiscence; extensive or complicated), which has a 90-day global period.
Background: Sternal wound infection (SWI) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) can carry a significant risk of morbidity and mortality.
Sternal wound infection (SWI) following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a challenging complication of the median sternotomy surgical approach. A comprehensive definition of SWI is described by El Oakley and Wright.
This study examined a retrospective cohort of all Alberta patients undergoing CABG between April 1, 2002, and November 30, 2009. Cardiac procedures are performed at two regional cardiac centers in the province.
In 2002, our healthcare system transitioned from ICD-9 coding to ICD-10 coding for diagnostic coding of diseases. A committee of cardiac care researchers, internal medicine physicians, plastic surgeons, and cardiac surgeons met to identify which ICD-10 codes best described SWI following CABG.
A total of 8,704 patients in Alberta underwent CABG. Of these patients, 6,258 (71.9 percent) had hospital discharge data up to one year following CABG. A total of 2,820 patients (45.1 percent) were from the regional site selected for chart review, and of those, 264 (9.4 percent) were coded as having a postoperative SWI.
As described in the methods section, the ICD-10 codes in this study were selected on the basis of a committee discussion of cardiovascular researchers, plastic surgeons, and cardiac surgeons. Two lists of codes were created.
This study was funded through the University of Calgary Surgical Research Development Fund.
A chest injury is any form of physical injury to the chest including the ribs, heart and lungs. Chest injuries account for 25% of all deaths from traumatic injury. Typically chest injuries are caused by blunt mechanisms such as motor vehicle collisions or penetrating mechanisms such as stabbings.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code S21.109A and a single ICD9 code, 875.0 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
