Next. Summary. Radius and ulnar shaft fractures, also known as adult both bone forearm fractures, are common fractures of the forearm caused by either direct trauma or indirect trauma (fall).

Transverse fractures occur when your bone is broken perpendicular to its length. The fracture pattern is a straight line that runs in the opposite direction of your bone. They can happen to any bone in your body, but usually affect longer bones after a trauma like a fall or accident.
The shaft of the radius is a long section of bone that continues distally from the neck and radial tuberosity. It is narrow proximally but enlarges towards the wrist, where it broadens to form the distal end of radius.
The radial shaft flares distally into a metaphyseal region to articulate with the distal ulna and the proximal carpal row. Lister's tubercle is a dorsal prominence that redirects the extensor pollicis longus tendon and is a landmark in dorsal surgical approaches.
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.
What is a distal radius fracture? The distal radius is the end (distal) portion of the forearm bone (radius). It connects to the carpal bones at the wrist and runs parallel to the ulna, which is the other bone of the forearm. The radius transmits up to 80% of the forces across the wrist to the forearm.
501A Unspecified fracture of the lower end of right radius, initial encounter for closed fracture.
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.
The Galeazzi fracture is a fracture of the radius with dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint. It classically involves an isolated fracture of the junction of the distal third and middle third of the radius with associated subluxation or dislocation of the distal radio-ulnar joint, the injury disrupts the forearm axis joint.
