T14: Injury of unspecified body region
T14.8: Other injuries of unspecified body region
The diagnosis defined by ICD-10 code T14.8 pertains to various types of injuries occurring at any unspecified region in the body. These injuries can be of any intensity or type, from minor abrasions or contusions to more severe injuries such as fractures or dislocations. This designation is employed when the specific area of the body affected by the injury is not clearly indicated or identified. Symptom presentation is diverse since it depends on the nature and severity of the injury, but may commonly include pain, swelling, bruising, or reduced function of the injured area. The causes of such injuries are numerous and can range from accidents, falls, sports-related incidents or physical assaults. They can have an abrupt onset following the incident or trauma causing the injury. The eventual progression of these conditions is highly dependent on the type and extent of the injury.
