Y28: Contact with sharp object, undetermined intent

The group of conditions classified as "Contact with a sharp object, undetermined intent" typically involve injuries that result from various types of sharp instruments or objects. These can include, but are not limited to, accidents with knives, scissors, broken glass, or other equipment with sharp edges. The injuries can occur under circumstances where the intent is unclear - that is, it's uncertain whether they were accidental, self-inflicted, or caused by someone else. Common symptoms may vary greatly depending on the severity and location of the injury, but often include pain, bleeding, visible cuts or punctures, and potential impairments in function. The progression of these conditions largely depends on the depth and extent of the wound, the cleanliness of the object causing the injury, and whether vital organs or structures are involved. Infections can occur if wounded areas are not properly cleaned and treated.
