About the S10–S19 Code Range
Neck injuries here range from surface injuries and open wounds to fractures, sprains, and damage to nerves, blood vessels, muscles, and tendons.
S10 separates surface injuries by neck site, while S11 identifies the part affected by an open wound. S12 separates fractures by location, including individual cervical vertebrae, the bones of the neck portion of the spine. S13 distinguishes disc ruptures, dislocations, and sprains. S14 identifies spinal cord and nerve injuries; S15 identifies the injured blood vessel. S16 separates strains, cuts, and other muscle, fascia, and tendon injuries. S17 identifies the part of the neck with a crushing injury, and S19 holds other specified or unspecified neck injuries.
Seventh characters distinguish initial encounters, subsequent encounters, and later effects of injuries. For cervical vertebra fractures, they also distinguish open from closed fractures initially and healing status at subsequent encounters.
