About S17.0

S17.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for crushing injury of larynx and trachea. It belongs to category S17 (crushing injury 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 S17 (crushing injury of neck), S17.0 is specifically for crushing injury of larynx and trachea. Related codes cover other specified parts of neck (S17.8) and part unspecified (S17.9).

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.

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.
