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.

998.83 - Non-healing surgical wound is a topic covered in the ICD-10-CM.
Postoperative wound infection is classified to ICD-9-CM code 998.59, Other postoperative infection. Code 998.59 also includes postoperative intra-abdominal abscess, postoperative stitch abscess, postoperative subphrenic abscess, postoperative wound abscess, and postoperative septicemia.
Wound dehiscence under the ICD-10-CM is coded T81. 3 which exclusively pertains to disruption of a wound not elsewhere classified.
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.
8-, “other injury of unspecified body region,” or T14. 9-, “injury, unspecified,” because these codes don't describe the location or type of wound. These injury codes require a 7th character to indicate the episode of care.
ICD-10-CM guidelines specify a fracture not indicated as open or closed is coded as closed, and a fracture not indicated as displaced or not displaced is coded as displaced. An additional code may be required for an open wound with a fracture or dislocation.
Dressings applied to the wound are part of the services for CPT codes 97597, 97598 and 97602 and they may not be billed separately. It is not appropriate to report CPT code 97602 in addition to CPT code 97597 and/or 97598 for wound care performed on the same wound on the same date of service.
A skin tear is a specific type of laceration that most often affects older adults, in which friction alone or friction plus shear separates skin layers.

Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
In ICD-9-CM, a traumatic amputation is considered an open wound classified to categories 870 to 897. However, it excludes open wounds associated with burn (940.0 to 949.5); crushing (925 to 929.9); puncture of internal organs (860.0 to 869.1); superficial injury (910.0 to 919.9); and those incidental to dislocation (830.0 to 839.9), fracture (800.0 to 829.1), internal injury (860.0 to 869.1), and intracranial injury (851.0 to 854.1).
An open wound is an injury that causes a break in the skin or mucous membrane. In ICD-9-CM, open wounds are classified to categories 870 to 897. Common types include the following: • Abrasion: caused by rubbing or scraping the skin against a rough or hard surface. Typically, the wound is superficial, and the bleeding is limited.
Internal injury of the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis is classified to categories 860 to 869.
A complicated open wound includes mention of delayed healing, delayed treatment, foreign body retention, or infection. There is no strict definition of delayed healing or treatment. If a patient delays seeking treatment by one week, for example, and the wound does not seem to be healing appropriately, then the complicated code should be used. If the coder is unsure, query the physician. The delayed treatment and healing tends to lead to infections, which then qualifies as a complicated open wound.
There are consistent injury types classified in all the body regions as well as injuries unique to a body region. An example of consistent injury types is that there is a category code for superficial injuries in each body site in the range of S00 to S99. On the other hand, traumatic brain injuries are unique to section S00 to S09, Injuries to the head.
For example, a patient was admitted with a fracture of the proximal end of the tibia and fibula. ICD-9-CM directs the coder to use code 823.02 to identify both fractures.
For example, a crush injury of the ankle is located under “Crushing Injury” (925 to 929). The code for a crushed ankle (928.21) is located within this section.
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.
DRG Group #604-605 - Trauma to the skin, subcut tissue and breast with MCC.
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 S21.209A and a single ICD9 code, 876.0 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
For codes less than 6 characters that require a 7th character a placeholder 'X' should be assigned for all characters less than 6. The 7th character must always be the 7th position of a code. E.g. The ICD-10-CM code T67.4 (Heat exhaustion due to salt depletion) requires an Episode of Care identifier.
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.
