Additional Info
- This code is a wastebasket for iatrogenic mechanical complication due to a type of device or implant or graft for which there aren't other, more specific codes (see below).
- It includes the following types of problems:
- Breakdown (mechanical)
- Displacement
- Leakage
- Malposition
- Obstruction, mechanical
- Perforation
- Protrusion
- Also code the specific type/site of injury, if possible.
- This is one of a number of different types of iatrogenic injury codes. Here is information about all of them; Iatrogenic codes in ICD10
