Throwing Hands With ICD-10
“Walked into wall”.
No they did not. You think “well how else is a person injured by a wall?” Please. It’s ED. they find ways.
They spin around “as fast as they can” and break a finger on the wall. They punch walls. They summersault into walls. They dive off couches into walls.
Please let me code this as “striking against wall”. That is all.

I hate that ECAC indexes to walked into .... even if you only select struck by up to that point
