Instructional notes from the ICD-10-CM tabular list.

  • A fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced
  • A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed
  • The open fracture designations are based on the Gustilo open fracture classification
Excludes 2 — Not Included HereFrom S80-S89 Injuries to the knee and lower leg (S80-S89)

Not part of this code; report both codes when the patient has both conditions.

  • burns and corrosions (T20-T32)
  • frostbite (T33-T34)
  • injuries of ankle and foot, except fracture of ankle and malleolus (S90-S99)
  • insect bite or sting, venomous (T63.4)
Excludes 2 — Not Included HereFrom Chapter S00-T88

Not part of this code; report both codes when the patient has both conditions.

  • 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.
