About W01.11
W01.11 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for fall on same level from slipping, tripping and stumbling with subsequent striking against sharp object. It belongs to category W01 (fall on same level from slipping, tripping and stumbling), block W00-W19 (slipping, tripping, stumbling and falls) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 4 subcodes must be used instead.
Within W01.1 (fall on same level from slipping, tripping and stumbling with subsequent striking against object), W01.11 is specifically for fall on same level from slipping, tripping and stumbling with subsequent striking against sharp object. Related codes cover unspecified object (W01.10) and other object (W01.19).
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.
