Transverse fractures of the manubrium sterni can occur after direct impact or indirect forces like a flexion/compression mechanism which is then often accompanied by additional vertebral fractures known as sternovertebral-injury with a posterior displacement of the manubrium (9,11-14).
S22. 20XA - Unspecified fracture of sternum [initial encounter for closed fracture] | ICD-10-CM.
Sternal fractures are the result of motor vehicle collisions in 60% to 90% of cases. They typically result from the chest striking the steering wheel, with most injuries occurring in older vehicles with no airbag deployment. Fractures are slightly more prevalent in females than males.
Sternal manubrial dissociation, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing. S22. 23XD is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
the sternumManubrium. The manubrium is a large quadrangular shaped bone that lies above the body of the sternum. The lower border is narrower, is quite rough, and articulates with the body with a thin layer of cartilage in between.
Fracture of unspecified part of right clavicle, initial encounter for closed fracture. S42. 001A 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 S42.
One of the most common chest injuries is fractured ribs. These are caused by a strong blunt force, such as a fall from a height or a motor vehicle crash. In older people who have osteoporosis, only a slight force, such as a minor fall, can fracture a rib. A fractured rib is rarely serious.
A sternal fracture can be diagnosed by X-ray, CT scan, or ultrasound. There are several symptoms of a broken sternum, including: Chest pain. A broken sternum typically causes moderate to severe pain when the accident occurs.
Buckle rib fractures are incomplete fractures involving only the inner cortex. They typically occur due to an anterior compressive force to the chest, most commonly external cardiac massage, but can be seen following any such traumatic injury.
The sternum is a partially T-shaped vertical bone that forms the anterior portion of the chest wall centrally. The sternum is divided anatomically into three segments: manubrium, body, and xiphoid process.
V89.2XXAICD-10 code V89. 2XXA for Person injured in unspecified motor-vehicle accident, traffic, initial encounter is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Transport accidents .
S26.91XAContusion of heart, unspecified with or without hemopericardium, initial encounter. S26. 91XA 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 S26.
Note: A fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed
