Here&#8217;s the difference between ICD-9 and ICD-10 coding for sports injuries:<\/p>\n<h4>ICD-9 Code<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Striking against or struck accidentally in sports without subsequent fall (E917.0)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>ICD-10-CM Detail Codes<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>W21.00 Struck by hit or thrown ball, unspecified type<\/li>\n<li>W21.01 Struck by football<\/li>\n<li>W21.02 Struck by soccer ball<\/li>\n<li>W21.03 Struck by baseball<\/li>\n<li>W21.04 Struck by golf ball<\/li>\n<li>W21.05 Struck by basketball<\/li>\n<li>W21.06 Struck by volleyball<\/li>\n<li>W21.07 Struck by softball<\/li>\n<li>W21.09 Struck by other hit or thrown ball<\/li>\n<li>W21.31 Struck by shoe cleats Stepped on by shoe cleats<\/li>\n<li>W21.32 Struck by skate blades Skated over by skate blades<\/li>\n<li>W21.39 Struck by other sports foot wear<\/li>\n<li>W21.4 Striking against diving board<\/li>\n<li>W21.11 Struck by baseball bat<\/li>\n<li>W21.12 Struck by tennis racquet<\/li>\n<li>W21.13 Struck by golf club<\/li>\n<li>W21.19 Struck by other bat, racquet or club<\/li>\n<li>W21.210 Struck by ice hockey stick<\/li>\n<li>W21.211 Struck by field hockey stick<\/li>\n<li>W21.220 Struck by ice hockey puck<\/li>\n<li>W21.221 Struck by field hockey puck<\/li>\n<li>W21.81 Striking against or struck by football&nbsp; helmet<\/li>\n<li>W21.89 Striking against or struck by other sports equipment<\/li>\n<li>W21.9 Striking against or struck by unspecified sports equipment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That&#8217;s right, there are 24 possible ICD-10-CM detail codes to represent sports injuries, compared to only one ICD-9 sports injury code.
