About S91.342

S91.342 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for puncture wound with foreign body, left foot. It belongs to category S91 (open wound of ankle, foot and toes), block S90-S99 (injuries to the ankle and foot) 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 S91.34 (puncture wound with foreign body of foot), S91.342 is specifically for puncture wound with foreign body, left foot. Related codes cover right foot (S91.341) and unspecified foot (S91.349).

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.
