Yes, every injury type is specified. You wouldn't believe what is defined in ICD-10. E.g. Stabbed while crocheting: Y93D1 (not to be confused with Activity, computer keyboarding: Y93C1), Hurt at the opera: Y92253. And then there's the famous V9027XA: Drowning and submersion due to falling or jumping from burning water-skis, initial encounter. I should emphasize that these are all real; I am not making this up.
