ICD-10 code S52. 5 for Fracture of lower end of radius is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
501A Unspecified fracture of the lower end of right radius, initial encounter for closed fracture.
Comminuted fractures involve multiple breaks of the distal radius. In this type of injury, the bone is broken into several pieces. Open Fracture. Open fractures are serious injuries that require immediate medical care. These injuries involve bone fractures which puncture the skin and are externally exposed.
Fracture of lower end of radius ICD-10-CM S52. 515A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):
Unspecified fracture of the lower end of left radius, initial encounter for closed fracture. S52. 502A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S52.
Comminuted fractures are a type of broken bone. The term comminuted fracture refers to a bone that is broken in at least two places. Comminuted fractures are caused by severe traumas like car accidents. You will need surgery to repair your bone, and recovery can take a year or longer.
An impacted fracture refers to a fracture in which bone fragments have been driven into each other. A compression fracture is similar to an impaction fracture, but the term is applied to describe a fracture in which cancellous bone collapses and compresses upon itself.
Distal radius fractures are very common in two subsets of patients: children and the middle-aged. They are the most common arm fracture in kids, as they spend a great deal of time at play, which can lead to falls. These fractures are typically non-displaced, or 'greenstick,' fractures.
Non-Surgical Treatment Distal radius fractures do not always require surgery. Many heal just fine without an operation. Minor fractures with minimal displacement do very well with nonsurgical treatment. Other displaced fractures can be “reduced” and casted.
Patients were identified by an electronic procedural code search for distal radius ORIF (CPT 25607, 25608, and 25609).
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.
ICD-10 Code for Unspecified fracture of right wrist and hand, initial encounter for closed fracture- S62. 91XA- Codify by AAPC.
In severe cases, the fractured bone is so much out of place that it can't be corrected or realigned without making a surgical incision. An open wrist fracture will require surgical treatment as soon as possible. Surgical treatment methods can possibly affect the future use of the forearm or wrist.
Most distal radius fractures take about three months or more to heal before you can return to all activities. Some residual soreness and stiffness may take up to one year or even more. Proximal radius fracture heals faster in around 6 to 12 weeks.
Authors use a specific external wrist distractor to obtain and maintain reduction in comminuted fractures of the distal end of the radius, using internal fixation in combination. Early motion of the wrist, protected by the wrist distractor seems to lower rates of Sudeck's atrophy.
Most distal radius fractures take 3 months or so to heal before you are able to return to all activities, and full recovery from these injuries can take up to 1 year.
