The s is added only to the injury code, not the sequelae code. The s value identifies the injury responsible for sequella. The specific type of sequelae is sequenced first, followed by the injury code.
when coding multiple injuries, each injury should be coded separately unless a combination code is provided, in which case the combination code is assigned. general codes for multiple injuries are provided for use when there is insufficient detail in the medical record to assign a more specific code. code t07, unspecified multiple injuries, should not be assigned in the inpatient setting unless information for more specific code is not available.

when a primary injury results in a minor damage to peripheral nerves or blood vessels, the primary injury is sequence first, with an additional code for injuries to nerves and spinal cord and or injury to blood vessels. when the primary injury is to the blood vessel or nerves, that injury should be sequenced first.
