Other injury of uterus, initial encounter

This code signifies any traumatic injury to the uterus that is not specifically classified as a laceration, contusion, or hematoma. It encompasses a range of less common or unspecified uterine injuries resulting from external forces or medical procedures.

Apply this code for initial encounters involving uterine trauma such as perforations from instrumentation (e.g., during D&C, hysteroscopy) or other non-specific injuries sustained during accidents or assaults, where a more precise code for laceration, contusion, or hematoma is not applicable.

• Ensure documentation clearly indicates an "other" or unspecified type of uterine injury.
• Verify this is the patient's initial encounter for this specific injury. Subsequent care would use a different seventh character.
• Always code the external cause of the injury (e.g., fall, assault, medical misadventure) in addition to the injury itself.
