Unspecified fracture of unspecified patella, initial encounter for closed fracture. S82. 009A 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 S82.
Stable patella fracture: In a stable fracture, also called a “nondisplaced” fracture, the broken pieces of your bone remain essentially in the right place. They may still be connected to each other, or they may be separated by a millimeter or two. This type of fracture usually heals well without surgery.
A patellar fracture is a break in the patella, or kneecap, the small bone that sits at the front of your knee. Because the patella acts as a shield for your knee joint, it is more likely to break if you fall directly onto your knee or hit it against the dashboard in a car accident.

Overview. The patellofemoral (kneecap) joint is made up of two bones: the patella (the kneecap) and the femur (the thighbone). When the knee bends and straightens, the patella glides along a groove on the femur called the trochlea. Some people have differences in the way the kneecap and this bone fit together.
sesamoid boneThe patella is the largest sesamoid bone in the human body and is located anterior to knee joint within the tendon of the quadriceps femoris muscle, providing an attachment point for both the quadriceps tendon and the patellar ligament.
Types of Patellar FracturesStable fracture. This type of fracture is nondisplaced. ... Displaced fracture. In a displaced fracture, the broken ends of the bone are separated and do not line up correctly. ... Comminuted fracture. In this type of fracture, the bone shatters into three or more pieces. ... Open fracture.
Abstract. 1. Attention is called to typical longitudinal fracture of the patella in a vertical sagittal plane, usually over the junction of the outer and middle quarters of the patella. 2. This fracture is not as uncommon as is usually believed, but is rarely recognized.
Fractures of the inferior pole of the patella are a unique type of patellar fracture in which the patella is extra-articularly avulsed by the patellar tendon. Such fractures account for 5 to 22.4% of all patellar fractures [1, 2] and are usually comminuted [3].

Displaced fractures will likely require surgery because the bones are unstable while nondisplaced fractures normally only need to be immobilized in a cast for six weeks to properly heal. Both treatment options require physical therapy to regain strength and full range of motion, and prevent joint stiffness.
A nondisplaced fracture is one in which the bone cracks or breaks but retains its proper alignment. Nondisplaced fractures often require only bracing, booting or casting treatment.
Most types of patella fractures are closed fractures, in which the patella does not break through the skin. Some types of closed fractures may be treated without surgery.
Your physical therapist may recommend incorporating simple stretching and strengthening movements into a home routine in between sessions. Physical therapy may continue once a week for six to eight weeks or until the patella fracture is healed completely.
