Y35.6: Legal intervention involving other specified means
Legal intervention involving other specified means (ICD-10 code: Y35.6), refers to injuries or health complications that occur as a direct result of actions taken by law enforcement officials using methods that do not fall under other specified categories. These means include but are not limited to the use of various non-firearm weapons, restraint methods like handcuffs or tasers, or tactical maneuvers such as chokeholds. The resultant physical consequence can widely vary, ranging from minor injuries to severe complications depending on the extent and nature of the applied force. Symptoms might include bruises, wounds, lacerations, physical restraint injuries, burns, or internal damage, depending on the specifics of the event. This condition is not one that develops or progresses over time, but is associated with one-off incidents. It's important to remember that the physiological impact can be immediate or delayed, and psychological health might also be affected in certain situations.
