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