You would code the aftercare codes for follow up visits while the fracture is healing after the initial treatment. The guidelines state: "Fractures are coded using the aftercare codes for encounters after the patient has completed active treatment of the fracture and is receiving routine care for the fracture during the healing or recovery phase.

The ICD-10-CM code S02.91XB might also be used to specify conditions or terms like closed fracture of skull, closed injury of head, closed skull fracture with intracranial hemorrhage, closed skull fracture with intracranial injury, closed skull fracture without intracranial injury, fracture of skull, etc.
Fracture codes are based on: Fracture type | Treatment type | Diagnosis | Patient age. Treatment type. The restoration of a fracture or dislocation to its normal anatomic alignment by the application of manually applied force is known as: External fixation | Manipulation | Skeletal fixation | Skeletal traction.

Calvarial fractures were defined as those involving the parietal bone, squamosal temporal bone, calvarial sphenoid, calvarial occipital, and frontal bones. Skull base, nonsquamosal temporal bone, central sphenoid, and facial bone fractures were excluded from analysis.
The parietal bone is most frequently fractured, followed by the temporal, occipital, and frontal bones [10]. Linear fractures are the most common, followed by depressed and basilar skull fractures. (See 'Definition and presentation of skull fracture types' below.)

Also called: Broken bone. A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an open or compound fracture.

A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. If the broken bone punctures the skin , it is called an open or compound fracture. Fractures commonly happen because of car accidents, falls or sports injuries. Other causes are low bone density and osteoporosis, which cause weakening of the bones. Overuse can cause stress fractures, which are very small cracks in the bone.
You need to get medical care right away for any fracture. You may need to wear a cast or splint. Sometimes you need surgery to put in plates, pins or screws to keep the bone in place.
