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 S69

About the S69 Code Range
These injuries affect the wrist, hand, or fingers but fall under other specified or unspecified injury categories.
S69.8 identifies other specified injuries, while S69.9 identifies unspecified injuries. Each branch then distinguishes the right side, left side, or an unspecified side. The final character distinguishes an initial encounter, a subsequent encounter, or a sequela, meaning a later effect of the injury.
