About S17

S17 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for crushing injury of neck. It belongs to 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.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: S17.0 (trachea), S17.8 (neck) and S17.9 (part unspecified).

Use an additional code for all associated injuries, such as: injury of blood vessels (S15.-), open wound of neck (S11.-), spinal cord injury (S14.0, S14.1-) and vertebral fracture (S12.0--S12.3-).

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