Notes

A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed

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
The chapter uses the S-section for coding different types of injuries related to single body regions and the T-section to cover injuries to unspecified body regions as well as poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes.

Use Additional

code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
- Z18 Retained foreign body fragments
