S30-S39: Injuries to the abdomen, lower back, lumbar spine and pelvis
S30: Superficial injury of abdomen, lower back and pelvis
Superficial injuries of the abdomen, lower back, and pelvis encompass a range of conditions that involve minor damage to the skin and underlying tissues of these specific body parts without involving deeper structures such as muscles, bones, or internal organs. These injuries often result from trauma, including falls, blunt force, or friction burns. Common symptoms may include pain, skin redness, bruising, swelling, or minor breaks in the skin surface. The skin, which forms part of the body's external defensive system, is the primary bodily system affected. Typically, these injuries are not severe but can become a source of major concern if they get infected or if they disguise more serious internal injuries. Therefore, while these are generally not life-threatening, they should be properly cared for to facilitate healing and prevent potential complications.
