S67.9Crushing injury of unspecified part(s) of wrist, hand and fingers

S67.9 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for crushing injury of unspecified part(s) of wrist, hand and fingers. It belongs to category S67 (crushing injury of wrist, hand and fingers), block S60-S69 (injuries to the wrist, hand and fingers) 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 S67, choose S67.9 (unspecified part(s) of wrist, hand and fingers) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: thumb (S67.0), other and unspecified finger(s) (S67.1), hand (S67.2), wrist (S67.3) and wrist and hand (S67.4).

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: fracture of wrist and hand (S62.-) and open wound of wrist and hand (S61.-).

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