Your thoracic nerves may have been damaged if you are experiencing any of these symptoms:
The diaphragm is the primary muscle of respiration, and its weakness can lead to respiratory failure. Diaphragmatic palsy can be caused by various causes. Injury to the phrenic nerve during thoracic surgeries is the most common cause for diaphragmatic palsy.
Thoracic radiculopathy can develop if any of the thoracic nerves become inflamed, such as from a thoracic herniated disc or a narrowing of the foramen. Symptoms include pain, tingling, numbness, and/or weakness radiating along the nerve root.
Thoracic trauma is broadly categorized by mechanism into blunt or penetrating trauma. The most common cause of blunt chest trauma is motor vehicle collisions (MVC) which account for up to 80% of injuries. Other causes include falls, vehicles striking pedestrians, acts of violence, and blast injuries.

What is the ICD-10 Code for Spinal Cord Injury? The ICD-10 Code for spinal cord injury is S14. 109A.
A thoracic spine fracture, also called a vertebral compression fracture, happens when a bone in the spine collapses. This occurs most often in the lower vertebrae in the thoracic spine. Most thoracic spine fractures are due to accidents, such as an automobile accident, a fall or sports injury.

Incomplete lesion of unspecified level of lumbar spinal cord, initial encounter. S34. 129A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S34.

Compression fractures (52%) were the most common injury in the thoracic spine, while transverse process fractures (48%) were the most common injuries in the lumbar spine. Conclusions: The prevalence of TL injuries in ED blunt trauma patients undergoing TL radiographs is 6.3%.
Your thoracic spine is the middle section of your spine. It starts at the base of your neck and ends at the bottom of your ribs. It consists of 12 vertebrae. Your thoracic spine is especially rigid and stable, making it the least common area of injury along your spine.
The thoracic spine is the longest region of the spine, and by some measures it is also the most complex. Connecting with the cervical spine above and the lumbar spine below, the thoracic spine runs from the base of the neck down to the abdomen. It is the only spinal region attached to the rib cage.

For starters, dorsalgia is severe back pain, which could be coming from different parts of the spine. Depending on the specific section of the spine where the pain is coming from, there are six types of dorsalgia.

The acronym SCIWORA (Spinal Cord Injury Without Radiographic Abnormality) was first developed and introduced by Pang and Wilberger who used it to define “clinical symptoms of traumatic myelopathy with no radiographic or computed tomographic features of spinal fracture or instability”.
ICD-10-CM Code for Paraplegia (paraparesis) and quadriplegia (quadriparesis) G82.
Acute spinal cord injury (SCI) is due to a traumatic injury that bruises, partially tears, or completely tears the spinal cord. SCI is a common cause of permanent disability and death in children and adults.
