  • O71.0 Rupture of uterus (spontaneous) before onset of labor (also a header)
  • O71.1 Rupture of uterus during labor
  • O71.2 Postpartum inversion of uterus
  • O71.3 Obstetric laceration of cervix
  • O71.4 Obstetric high vaginal laceration alone
  • O71.5 Other obstetric injury to pelvic organs
  • O71.6 Obstetric damage to pelvic joints and ligaments
  • O71.7 Obstetric hematoma of pelvis
  • O71.8 Other specified obstetric trauma (also a header)
  • O71.9 Obstetric trauma, unspecified
