T14: Injury of unspecified body region
T14.0: Superficial injury of unspecified body region
The ICD-10 diagnosis of T14.0 refers to a superficial injury of an unspecified body region. A superficial injury is damage that affects the topmost layer of skin or tissue of a body part without going deeper. It can occur from various causes such as accidents, falls, or minor cuts and scrapes. When the affected body region is unspecified, it means that the specific body part that has sustained the injury is not identified in the medical records. The symptoms associated with these injuries generally include pain, bruising, swelling, or visible breaks in the skin, such as abrasions or lacerations. It is important to note that the severity and progression of a superficial injury can vary greatly based on the mechanism of the injury and the individual's overall health.
