However, coders should not code Z91. 81 as a primary diagnosis unless there is no other alternative, as this code is from the “Factors Influencing Health Status and Contact with Health Services,” similar to the V-code section from ICD-9.

In ICD-10-CM a fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced, and a fracture not designated as open or closed should be coded to closed. While the classification defaults to displaced for fractures, it is very important that complete documentation is encouraged.
When the visit is for the purpose of deciding what treatment is required to repair the fracture, it is an initial encounter. Likewise, when the visit results in a changed active plan of care, it is an initial encounter.
Overview. After a bone breaks, modern treatment allows almost all to heal completely. In rare cases, however, a fracture does not heal, resulting in a nonunion. In other cases, the fracture takes far longer to heal than usual, which is called a delayed union.

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. Broken bone (Medical Encyclopedia) Closed reduction of a fractured bone (Medical Encyclopedia) Closed reduction of a fractured bone - aftercare (Medical Encyclopedia)
For codes less than 6 characters that require a 7th character a placeholder 'X' should be assigned for all characters less than 6. The 7th character must always be the 7th position of a code. E.g. The ICD-10-CM code T67.4 (Heat exhaustion due to salt depletion) requires an Episode of Care identifier.
Bennett fracture is a fracture of the base of the first metacarpal bone which extends into the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint. This intra-articular fracture is the most common type of fracture of the thumb, and is nearly always accompanied by some degree of subluxation or frank dislocation of the carpometacarpal joint.
