Combined Coding of Traumas and their Mechanisms

  • There are numerous codes for "mechanical" injuries to various body parts.
  • You can recognize these codes because their names include one or another term such as: "injury/trauma" or "traumatic".
    • Template:Discussion we should have those grouped in a category so we can implement cross-checks against this. Is the following right or do we need something else?

  • For these codes, it is required that the injury be combined with the external mechanism of the injury:
