The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group S54 includes traumatic injuries to peripheral nerves at the forearm level, such as lacerations, crush injuries, and nerve compressions that result in motor or sensory deficits. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document acute nerve damage from injury mechanisms, capture laterality and encounter type, and indicate the presence of open versus closed wounds or associated complications. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM S54 group supports proper claim adjudication and ensures complete clinical documentation and appropriate reimbursement.
