A Jefferson fracture is another name for a bone fracture of the front and back arches of the C1 vertebra. The C1 vertebra is the top one, closest to your skull. C1 fractures represent about 2 percent of all vertebral fractures, according to a 2013 review.
Surgery. A burst fracture is considered unstable if neurologic injury is present, angulation of the spine is greater than 20 degrees, there is subluxation or dislocation of the spine, or there is greater than 50 percent spinal canal compromise. Unstable burst fractures usually do better with early surgery.
Spaces between the vertebrae allow nerves to pass from the spinal cord to various parts of the body. A compression fracture is a condition in which a vertebra is crushed only in the front part of the spine, causing a wedge shape. If a vertebra is crushed in all directions, the condition is called a burst fracture.
Cervical instability is an orthopedic condition characterized in part by hypermobility of the cervical vertebrae. In patients with cervical instability, these neck vertebrae are able to move beyond their normal range of motion due to ligaments that have become loose or overly stretched out.

In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed. Code First. Code First Help. Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology.
