S11.024Puncture wound with foreign body of trachea

S11.024 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for puncture wound with foreign body of trachea. It belongs to category S11 (open wound of neck), block S10-S19 (injuries to the neck) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S11.02 (open wound of trachea), S11.024 is specifically for puncture wound with foreign body of trachea. Related codes cover laceration without foreign body of trachea (S11.021), laceration with foreign body of trachea (S11.022), puncture wound without foreign body of trachea (S11.023), open bite of trachea (S11.025) and unspecified open wound of trachea (S11.029).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
