Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S91
The conditions below can never be reported together with S91.30 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- open fracture of ankle, foot and toes (S92.-with 7th character B)
- traumatic amputation of ankle and foot (S98.-)
