Use Additional Code
The “use additional code” indicates that a secondary code could be used to further specify the patient’s condition. This note is not mandatory and is only used if enough information is available to assign an additional code.
- code(s) for all associated injuries
Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.
7th Character Note
Certain ICD-10-CM categories have applicable 7th characters. The applicable 7th character is required for all codes within the category, or as the notes in the Tabular List instruct. The 7th character must always be the 7th character in the data field. If a code that requires a 7th character is not 6 characters, a placeholder X must be used to fill in the empty characters.
- The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category S77
7th Character

About the S77 Code Range
The ICD-10 code section S77 is designated for crushing injuries affecting the hip and thigh. These codes help specify the exact location, laterality, and stage of treatment for such injuries.
This section includes codes for crushing injuries of the hip alone (S77.0), the thigh alone (S77.1), and combined injuries of the hip with the thigh (S77.2). Each can be further detailed by specifying the right or left side (e.g., S77.01 for right hip or S77.11 for right thigh), or left side, and by noting the encounter type: initial, subsequent, or sequela (using seventh character extensions like XA, XD, XS). Synonyms such as "closed crush injury," "open crush injury," and "crushing injury of buttock" correspond to these codes, aiding coders in matching common injury descriptions to the correct ICD-10 code. The precise use of these codes enables clear documentation of severity and laterality for crushing trauma to the hip and thigh region, ensuring accurate representation in medical records and billing.
