ICD-10 code for knee contusion

The ICD-10-CM code for knee contusion is S80.0 (Contusion of knee).

Within S80 (superficial injury of knee and lower leg), S80.0 is specifically for contusion of knee. Related codes cover contusion of lower leg (S80.1), other superficial injuries of knee (S80.2), other superficial injuries of lower leg (S80.8) and unspecified superficial injury of knee and lower leg (S80.9).

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