Injury of nerves and spinal cord at thorax level - S24
S24 Category in ICD-10-CM facilitate the systematic organization of medical information for accurate and standardized healthcare practices.
Category Notes:
- Code to highest level of thoracic spinal cord injury
- Injuries to the spinal cord (S24.0 and S24.1) refer to the cord level and not bone level injury, and can affect nerve roots at and below the level given.
Excludes2: This note means that the conditions described by two codes are not usually associated with each other but can sometimes occur together.
Type 2 Excludes:
- injury of brachial plexus (S14.3)
Code Also: It indicates that an additional code should be used alongside the primary code to capture related factors or associated conditions.
Category codeAlso:
- any associated:
- fracture of thoracic vertebra (S22.0-)
- open wound of thorax (S21.-)
- transient paralysis (R29.5)
The seventh character in ICD-10-CM is an essential component that adds specificity to diagnosis codes by indicating aspects like the encounter type, stage, or other relevant clinical details.
Category SevenChr Note:
- The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category S24
