Milt op w explosn due to acc disch of own munit, milt, sqla

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from an injury sustained by military personnel due to an accidental explosion of their own munitions or munitions launch device during military operations. It signifies that the initial acute injury has resolved, but the patient continues to experience residual conditions directly attributable to that specific event.

This code is appropriate for documenting sequelae such as chronic pain, amputations, neurological deficits, or psychological conditions (e.g., PTSD) that are a direct result of an accidental detonation or discharge of the patient's own military-issued explosives. It should be used when the patient is seen for follow-up care related to these lasting effects, rather than the initial acute injury.

• Always assign a code for the specific sequela (e.g., T90.5XXS for sequela of intracranial injury) in addition to this external cause code.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past military incident involving own munitions.
• This code is for military personnel only; do not use for civilians or non-military explosions.
