Noun. 1. closed fracture - an uncomplicated fracture in which the broken bones to not pierce the skin. simple fracture. fracture, break - breaking of hard tissue such as bone; "it was a nasty fracture"; "the break seems to have been caused by a fall".
Closed radius/ulna fracture is the breakage of one of the two or both the bones of the forearm right near wrist joint. The radius bone is located along the thumb side of the forearm, whereas the ulna is aligned with the side of the little finger of the hand. The breakage can occur near the wrist joint, elbow joint, or in the middle of the bone.

A: The 3 zones (Zone I, alar region fracture; Zone II, foraminal region fracture; Zone III, central canal region fracture). B: Zone II fracture going through the sacral foramina.
A sacral fracture occurs when a bone called the sacrum breaks. The sacrum is a large triangular bone at the bottom of the spine. It fits like a wedge between the two hip bones. The sacrum is made up of the sacral vertebrae, which are fused together. Sometimes the coccyx, or tailbone, is fractured along with the sacrum.
Denis classification zone 1: fracture involves the sacral ala lateral to the neural foramina. zone 2: fracture involves the neural foramina, but does not involve the spinal canal.
ICD-10-CM Code for Wedge compression fracture of first lumbar vertebra, initial encounter for closed fracture S32. 010A.
Sacral fractures are common pelvic ring injuries that are under-diagnosed and often associated with neurologic compromise.
The sacrum is a shield-shaped bony structure that is located at the base of the lumbar vertebrae and that is connected to the pelvis. The sacrum forms the posterior pelvic wall and strengthens and stabilizes the pelvis.
Zone 2 sacral fractures are reported to range between 34 and 47.5% of all sacral fractures. Denis originally described the influence of fracture zone on neurological deficit and prognosis, with zone 2 fractures characterized by injury to the L5 through lower sacral nerve roots.
The sacrum, sometimes called the sacral vertebra or sacral spine (S1), is a large, flat triangular shaped bone nested between the hip bones and positioned below the last lumbar vertebra (L5). The coccyx, commonly known as the tailbone, is below the sacrum.
The sacrum is a concave sphenoid bone that sits at the bottom of the spinal column. It looks like an inverted triangle: the widest part (base) is at the top, and the pointy end (apex) is at the bottom. The sides of the sacrum connect to the right and left hip (iliac) bones.
000 for Wedge compression fracture of unspecified lumbar vertebra is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
Fracture of lumbar vertebra ICD-10-CM S32. 009A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):
In ICD-10-CM, codes for compression and pathologic fractures of the spine (not due to trauma) are located in Chapter 13, Diseases of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue. Category M48. 5-, Collapsed vertebra, not elsewhere classifiable is used for vertebrae fracture where no cause is listed.
