Topics (rough outline)
OGMS: injury =def. A disorder that involves some structural damage that is immediately caused by a catastrophic external force.
Definition of injury
- Relation to disease
- Relation to lesion
- Relation to trauma
- Relation to wound
- Relation to violence
- Relation to damage
- SNOMED Injury =def. Disorder resulting from physical damage to the body
- Relation to injury site
(For a full account we would need definitions of these terms also.)
- Injury as something that happens instantaneously vs. injury as something that builds progressively over time
TMD background
Relation to external cause
- Are there injuries with internal causes?
- Example: Complicated grief (Does the mental state of a grieving person include an injury caused by the loss?, or, for short, are bereaved people literally mentally injured?
- Can there be molecular injuries?
- Can there be cellular injuries?
- Can there be occult injuries?
Is there really a distinction between injury and disease?
Types of injury:
- Injury due to accidents
- Injury due to violence
- Injury due to violence in ED settings
Legal aspects
- Insurance aspects
Other definitions
- Texas Statutes: "Injury" means damage to the body that results from intentional or unintentional acute exposure to thermal, mechanical, electrical, or chemical energy or from the absence of essentials such as heat or oxygen.
- ICD 10 Chapter XlX, Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes :ICD 190 Chapter XX, External causes of morbidity and mortality
ICD's external cause-of-injury codes are the codes used to classify injury events by mechanism and intent of injury. Intent of injury categories include unintentional, homicide/assault, suicide/intentional self-harm, legal intervention or war operations, and undetermined intent.

Sequelae of injuries
This topic is addressed in the ontology of pain paper as follows:
- PNT cases such as allodynia, in contrast, occur not only with tissue damage but also often occur in a site where there was an injury that has healed. A non-noxious stimulus to the site or an area surrounding the site produces pain. The mechanism for this could be the local sprouting, during the healing process, of excess nerve terminals, and/or permanent changes in the sensory system leading to the cortex that have nothing to do with cognitive mechanisms associated with threat that are activated in the case of PCT.
