Injuries to the wrist, hand and fingers (S60-S69) ICD-10-CM
The S60–S69 section covers injuries to the wrist, hand and fingers with 6,768 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes, of which 5,118 are billable in fiscal year 2027. The section is organized into the 10 code ranges listed below.
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.

About the S60–S69 Code Range
Injuries here affect the wrist, hand, or fingers. They include surface injuries, open wounds, fractures, joint and ligament injuries, damage to nerves or blood vessels, crushing injuries, and traumatic amputations.
The categories separate injuries by type. S60 and S61 distinguish surface injuries from open wounds, with some finger codes separating nail damage. S62 separates fractures by bone or finger. S63 covers joint and ligament injuries, while S64, S65, and S66 separate nerve, blood vessel, and muscle or tendon injuries. S67 covers crushing injuries, S68 covers traumatic amputations, and S69 covers other or unspecified injuries.
The seventh character distinguishes initial encounters, subsequent encounters, and later effects. For fractures, it also distinguishes open from closed fractures at the initial encounter and healing status at subsequent encounters.
