Coding for wounds, lacerations, and other injuries can be confusing! This video discusses superficial injuries, open wounds, foreign bodies, internal injuries, puncture wounds, crushing injuries, amputations, avulsions, bites, intracranial injuries, concussions, comas, whiplash, blast injuries, and traumatic ruptures. Also discussed are the guidelines for coding injuries and how to look up the various types of injuries in the Alphabetic Index.
