Subluxation of distal end of right ulna, initial encounter S63.071A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM S63.071A became effective on October 1, 2020. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of ...
Taken from Orthopedic Coding Alert The best choice is 718.83 (Unspecified derangement of joint; forearm) to represent instability. Ulnar impaction syndrome is also known as ulnar abutment syndrome, and can be a common complication after distal radial fracture.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S59.02 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S59.02 - other international versions of ICD-10 S59.02 may differ. Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury.
The best choice is 718.83 (Unspecified derangement of joint; forearm) to represent instability. Ulnar impaction syndrome is also known as ulnar abutment syndrome, and can be a common complication after distal radial fracture. The term means the distal ulna is no longer in line with the distal radius, resulting in the ulna being longer.

Introduction. The distal ulna represents the fixed point around which the radius and the hand acts in daily living. The significance of distal ulnar fractures is often not appreciated and often results in inadequate treatment in comparison to its larger counterpart; the radius.

A distal ulna fracture, or isolated ulnar shaft fracture, is a type of fracture that occurs along the length of the ulna bone, which is one of the two bones in the forearm.
A distal radius fracture can be isolated, which means no other fractures are involved. It can also occur along with a fracture of the distal ulna (the forearm bone on the small finger side). In these cases, the injury is called a distal radius and ulna fracture.
The radius is the bone on the thumb side and the ulna is the bone on the little finger side. People may break both of these bones when they trip and hold an arm out to stop the fall. The distal (closest to the hand) part of the bones are most likely to be injured.
A distal radius fracture is therefore the medical term for a broken radius bone near the wrist. In most cases, a "broken wrist" refers to a fractured radius, but it is also possible for both bones in the forearm to be fractured.
Metaphyseal fractures are also known as corner fractures, bucket handle fractures or metaphyseal lesions. It refers to an injury to the metaphysis which is the growing plate at each end of a long bone (such as tibia, femur, etc).
A Colles fracture is a break in the radius close to the wrist. It was named for the surgeon who first described it. Typically, the break is located about an inch (2.5 centimeters) below where the bone joins the wrist. A Colles fracture is a common fracture that happens more often in women than men.
