Long Title

  • Salter-Harris Type I physeal fracture of upper end of left femur sequela

Notes

S79

  • A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed

S00-T88

  • Use secondary code(s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code
  • The chapter uses the S-section for coding different types of injuries related to single body regions and the T-section to cover injuries to unspecified body regions as well as poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes.
