A spinous process fracture is a break in a part of the spinal bone. This part of the bone is located toward the back of each spinal bone.
If you have a fracture below the L1-L2 (first and second vertebrae in the lumbar spine), you won't have a spinal cord injury, but it's still possible to injure the nerves. Your back also has muscles, ligaments, tendons, and blood vessels. Muscles are strands of tissues that power your movement.
ICD-10-CM Code for Wedge compression fracture of first lumbar vertebra, initial encounter for closed fracture S32. 010A.
Fractures of isolated spinous processes of cervical and thoracic vertebrae are called as Clay shoveler's fracture. These are the avulsion type of injury due to stress on the interspinous ligaments attached to the spinous process.
lumbar spineThe lumbar spine makes up the the lower end of the spinal column. It consists of 5 lumbar vertebra that are numbered 1 through 5 from top to bottom i.e. L1, L2, L3, L4, and L5. The L5 vertebra is connected to the top of the sacrum (named the S1 segment) through an intervertebral disc.
The L1 vertebra is located in the spinal column of the lumbar (lower back) region inferior to the T12 vertebra and superior to the L2 vertebra. Like the other lumbar vertebrae, L1 has a large, roughly cylindrical region of bone known as the body, or centrum, which makes up most of its mass.
Spinous process: The spinous process is a piece of bone that comes off the back of the lamina at every level. It provides an attachment for muscles. When you feel down someone's back, the spinous processes are the bony bits that you can feel in the middle of their spine.

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.
If you have no other documentation about the fracture (e.g. whether this is a pathological or a traumatic fracture), then this would code to category M48. 5 - Compression fracture of vertebra NOS, so I would use M48. 56XA for the lumbar site.
M48. 55XA: Collapsed vertebra, not elsewhere classified, thoracolumbar region, initial encounter for fracture (collapse at the junction of the thoracic and lumbar regions)
