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

This code signifies a long-term health consequence or complication arising from an injury sustained by military personnel due to an explosive device, specifically a bomb, that was planted during a period of war but detonated after the official end of hostilities. It indicates a delayed effect of a wartime explosive incident on a service member.

This code is appropriate for documenting conditions such as chronic pain, neurological deficits, amputations, or psychological disorders (e.g., PTSD) that are directly attributable to an injury from a post-conflict bomb explosion affecting military personnel. It should be used when the patient presents for treatment of these lasting effects, not the initial injury.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., T90.5 for sequela of intracranial injury).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the specified type of explosion and the military personnel context.
• Verify the explosion occurred after the cessation of hostilities, as distinct from explosions during active war operations.
