S31.804Puncture wound with foreign body of unspecified buttock

S31.804 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for puncture wound with foreign body of unspecified buttock. It belongs to category S31 (open wound of abdomen, lower back, pelvis and external genitals), block S30-S39 (injuries to the abdomen, lower back, lumbar spine, pelvis and external genitals) 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 S31.80, choose S31.804 (Puncture wound with foreign body of unspecified buttock) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: laceration without foreign body of unspecified buttock (S31.801), laceration with foreign body of unspecified buttock (S31.802), puncture wound without foreign body of unspecified buttock (S31.803), open bite of unspecified buttock (S31.805) and unspecified open wound of unspecified buttock (S31.809).

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.
