Definition/Description. T9-T10 chance fracture from MVA. Most thoracic spine fractures occur in the lower thoracic spine, with 60% to 70% of thoraco-lumbar fractures occurring in the T11 to L2 region, which is bio-mechanically weak for stress. The majority of these fractures occur without spinal cord injury.

Compression fractures are small breaks or cracks in the vertebrae (the bones that make up your spinal column). The breaks happen in the vertebral body, which is the thick, rounded part on the front of each vertebra. Fractures in the bone cause the spine to weaken and collapse. Over time, these fractures affect posture.
S22. 20XA - Unspecified fracture of sternum [initial encounter for closed fracture] | ICD-10-CM.
S22. 040 - Wedge compression fracture of fourth thoracic vertebra | ICD-10-CM.
A wedge fracture is the most common type of compression fracture. It usually occurs in the front of the cylinder-shaped vertebra, causing the front of the vertebra to collapse but leaving the back of the bone intact, resulting in a wedge shape.
You should consider the exact anatomic location when it comes to coding for collapsed vertebra.M48.52XA: Collapsed vertebra, not elsewhere classified, cervical region, initial encounter for fracture.M48.54XA: Collapsed vertebra, not elsewhere classified, thoracic region, initial encounter for fracture.More items...•
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.
Vertebra fractures are usually due to conditions such as: osteoporosis (a condition which weakens the bones), a very hard fall, excessive pressure, or some kind of physical injury. When a bone in the spine collapses, it is called a vertebral compression fracture.
