Traumatic ischemia of muscle, sequela
ValidICD-10-CM diagnosis code.
Valid for claims with a date of service in the current code year.
What has happened to this code
Every change the publisher made, from 2007 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
- FY2007 Added to the draft code set draft Traumatic ischemia of muscle, sequela
Official coding rules
Published by CDC for FY2027. A rule attached to a category binds every code beneath it, so the rules inherited from this code's ancestors are shown with the code they come from.
Inherited from T79 Certain early complications of trauma, not elsewhere classified
Seventh character required
- The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T79
Excludes2 - not included here
- acute respiratory distress syndrome (J80)
- complications occurring during or following medical procedures (T80-T88)
- complications of surgical and medical care NEC (T80-T88)
