Cumulative Official WHO Updates to ICD 10 - 1996 - 2001

ICD-9-CM combined injuries to multiple parts of a leg while ICD-10-CM creates separate terms for each part of the leg. Ex: S81.809A [Unspecified open wound, unspecified lower leg, initial encounter] instead of 891.0 [Open wound of knee, leg except thigh, and ankle, without mention of complication] ................
