This code provides additional context regarding the location of the incident.

Y92.140 would be used alongside the fracture code from Chapter 19.
Detailed documentation is necessary including the location of the event (prison kitchen), the nature of the injury or illness (using a code from Chapter 19), and any witnesses or contributing factors.
