nontraumatic

Causing no damage

Nontraumatic describes a medical condition or injury that arises from disease, degeneration, or internal processes rather than from external force or accident: nontraumatic spinal cord injury, nontraumatic cardiac arrest.

The term distinguishes causes in clinical settings—a nontraumatic fracture might result from osteoporosis rather than a fall.
