I have an ED patient who presents with foot pain after kicking a dog.
I have looked at many E codes and I can't find any that I really like.
E917 series I don't think works out.
E019 series I don't think works out because this wasn't animal care. - maybe E019.9 but to me that reads animal care - I don't think this qualifies as animal care.
Would you use E029.9?
E958.8 - I like this one, but the dictation does not say accident or the patient was mad and kicked the dog to make this self inflicted.
Any thoughts?
Thank you
