We will use E927.0 in ICD-9 for twisting, overexertion. Exactly what code should we want use in ICD-10.
 
Not necessarily. An overxertion type of injury is not due to an external cause, it is due to an activity. There is no equivalent to the ICD-9 code for the twisting or strenuous movement code because it is not an external cause of an injury. Coding clinics have indicated to use only the activity codes for these. Nothing in the guidelines indicate that activity codes need an external cause code.
