20 Appendix A - AROC Spinal Cord Injury Impairment Guidelines USE this group only if there is a spinal cord/ caudaequina dysfunction. Do NOT use this group for post spinal surgery, unless the surgery has resulted in dysfunction of the spinal cord/ caudaequina. A detailed coding guideline for patients with spinal cord injury, disease and damage is contained in the appendix to assist in the coding of patients. It is suggested that this be reviewed when considering patients with these conditions to ensure the most accurate code relevant for patient is used. Non-traumatic Spinal Cord Dysfunction USE this group for cases with quadriplegia/paresis and paraplegia/paresis of non-traumatic (i.e., medical or post-operative) origin.
