000 for Wedge compression fracture of unspecified lumbar vertebra is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
A compression fracture is a type of broken bone that can cause your vertebrae to collapse, making them shorter. This often happens to the front of the vertebrae but not the back, causing you to stoop forward over time.
In ICD-10-CM, codes for compression and pathologic fractures of the spine (not due to trauma) are located in Chapter 13, Diseases of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue. Category M48. 5-, Collapsed vertebra, not elsewhere classifiable is used for vertebrae fracture where no cause is listed.
Compression fractures are common in the middle and lower back. While a compression fracture can occur anywhere along your spine, the most common areas are in the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. 60% to 75% of vertebral compression fractures typically occur at the T12 to L2 vertebral levels—your middle back area.
lumbarLocated just below the L1, the L2 vertebra is the second vertebra in your lumbar, or lower back, region. It's among the largest of the bones in your spinal column, which gets wider as it goes lower.
lumbar spineThe lumbar spine makes up the the lower end of the spinal column. It consists of 5 lumbar vertebra that are numbered 1 through 5 from top to bottom i.e. L1, L2, L3, L4, and L5. The L5 vertebra is connected to the top of the sacrum (named the S1 segment) through an intervertebral disc.
If you have no other documentation about the fracture (e.g. whether this is a pathological or a traumatic fracture), then this would code to category M48. 5 - Compression fracture of vertebra NOS, so I would use M48. 56XA for the lumbar site.
Fracture of lumbar vertebra ICD-10-CM S32. 009A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):
S32. 000A - Wedge compression fracture of unspecified lumbar vertebra [initial encounter for closed fracture] | ICD-10-CM.
The L1 vertebra is located in the spinal column of the lumbar (lower back) region inferior to the T12 vertebra and superior to the L2 vertebra. Like the other lumbar vertebrae, L1 has a large, roughly cylindrical region of bone known as the body, or centrum, which makes up most of its mass.
Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) occur when the bony block or vertebral body in the spine collapses, which can lead to severe pain, deformity and loss of height. These fractures more commonly occur in the thoracic spine (the middle portion of the spine), especially in the lower part.
Acute fractures: Are the result of a traumatic injury that causes a clean and immediate break in the bone. Most acute fractures are emergencies.
Fracture of second lumbar vertebra 1 S32.02 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM S32.02 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S32.02 - other international versions of ICD-10 S32.02 may differ.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
