Explosn of mine place dur war op but expld aft, milt, sqla

This code describes a long-term health condition or injury resulting from a mine explosion that was deployed during a period of war but detonated after the conflict officially ended. The injury or illness specifically affects military personnel. This indicates a delayed consequence of wartime ordnance.

This code is used when documenting a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, amputation, PTSD, hearing loss) directly attributable to an anti-personnel or anti-tank mine detonation that occurred post-conflict. It applies to military personnel who were exposed to such an event. This code is appropriate for follow-up care and ongoing management of these specific injuries.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., T90.5XXS for sequela of intracranial injury).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a mine explosion that occurred after hostilities ceased and identifies the patient as military personnel.
• Verify the "S" seventh character is appropriate for a sequela, indicating the long-term effects of the initial injury.
