About the O71 Code Range
Obstetric trauma includes injuries connected with labor and delivery, as well as uterine rupture before labor and inversion of the uterus after childbirth.
O71 first separates uterine rupture before labor from rupture during labor. The before-labor branch distinguishes the second trimester, third trimester, and an unspecified trimester. Other branches identify injuries to the cervix, upper vagina, pelvic organs, and pelvic joints or ligaments, as well as pelvic hematoma.
Other specified trauma separates uterine laceration, trauma to the perineum or vulva, and other injuries. A separate branch identifies unspecified obstetric trauma. A laceration is a tear.
