ICD-10 code for thigh wound

The ICD-10-CM code for thigh wound is S71.10 (Unspecified open wound of thigh).

Within S71.1, choose S71.10 (Unspecified open wound of thigh) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: laceration without foreign body of thigh (S71.11), laceration with foreign body of thigh (S71.12), puncture wound without foreign body of thigh (S71.13), puncture wound with foreign body of thigh (S71.14) and open bite of thigh (S71.15).

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.
