titleTraumatic injury (disorder)

The use of |Spontaneous event (event)| is in development, as many of the concepts that related to non-traumatic are not in fact spontaneous. 

  • In those cases where it is clinically apparent that the cause is spontaneous, the concept is modeled with a |Due to (attribute)| of |Spontaneous event (event)|.
  • In those cases where it cannot be determined that the clinical condition is actually spontaneous (i.e., no known underlying mechanism), a |Due to (attribute)| relationship to |Spontaneous event (event)| would be omitted.

Where a request for a specific traumatic or non-traumatic disorder is made and there is support in literature for both, then concepts representing both the traumatic and non traumatic forms together with a generic form should be added.

Friction injury, abrasion

...

For example,

While many medical definitions refer to abrasions as superficial injuries of the skin and subcutaneous structures, the term is also used for areas such as dentistry to define superficial excoriations of teeth, ophthalmology, and also can be used for other integumentary structures such as nails. The FSN should clearly identify which structure the concept refers to and where this structure is skin, this must be specified.

Rupture

Ruptures are modeled with an |Associated morphology (attribute)| of 125671007 of 125671007 |Rupture (morphologic abnormality)|. A   A disorder concept modeled with a Rupture (morphologic abnormality) will classify classifies as a subtype of 417163006 |Traumatic or non-traumatic injury (disorder)|.

  • Traumatic rupture concepts are modeled with a |Due to (attribute)| of << |Traumatic event (event)|
  • Nontraumatic rupture concepts are modeled as a subtype of 1119219007 |Nontraumatic injury (disorder)|
