Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here".

When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

About the S70–S79 Code Range
Hip and thigh injuries here include surface injuries, open wounds, broken thigh bones, joint injuries, crushing injuries, and traumatic amputations.
S70 and S71 separate surface injuries from open wounds, then distinguish the hip from the thigh. S72 sorts fractures of the femur, or thigh bone, by location along the bone. S73 distinguishes hip dislocations from sprains. S74 and S75 identify the injured nerve or blood vessel. S76 separates muscle, connective tissue, and tendon injuries by site or muscle group. S77 distinguishes crushing injuries by site, while S78 distinguishes traumatic amputations by level. S79 includes growth-plate fractures at either end of the femur and other hip and thigh injuries.
For nonfracture injuries, seventh characters distinguish initial encounters, subsequent encounters, and lasting effects. Fracture seventh characters also distinguish closed and open fractures, open-fracture types, and healing status at subsequent encounters.
