However the treatment for nondisplaced fractures is coded to the procedure performed, such as casting (Immobilization) or inserting a pin (Insertion). A patient has a displaced, closed fracture of the greater trochanter of the right femur (S72.111). The following codes would be assigned for this case (all examples presume routine healing):

Sometimes, thumb fractures can result in joint instability when they involve the important ligaments that keep the joints aligned. These are often avulsion injuries, which occur during an extreme force to the joint that causes the ligament to rip away from its attachment, taking a piece of bone with it.
Displaced Fracture: bone breaks into two or more pieces and moves out of alignment. Non-Displaced Fracture: the bone breaks but does not move out of alignment. Closed Fracture: the skin is not broken.

FOOSH is an unusual term for what's known as “fall on an outstretched hand.” It's one of the most common injuries seen in the Emergency Room, and can have a long-term effect on your fingers, hands, wrists, elbows or shoulders.
The orthopedic specialist places a splint and wants to see the patient in two weeks. After one week, the patient is complaining of severe pain.
Both the treating physician and the consulting physician have provided active care, and both visits are initial encounters. Neither prescribing medicine, nor referral to a physical therapist, is considered active care for fracture coding.
Fracture coding can be a challenge for both physicians and coders, but its effect on hierarchical condition code (HCC) funding in Medicare Advantage, as well as health plan Star ratings, leaves little room for speculation. Knowing how ICD-10 delineates initial and subsequent visits is key.

DO NOT include the decimal point when electronically filing claims as it may be rejected. Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically.
In ICD-10-CM, injuries are grouped by body part rather than by category, so all injuries of a specific site (such as head and neck) are grouped together rather than groupings of all fractures or all open wounds. Categories grouped by injury in ICD-9-CM such as fractures (800–829), dislocations (830–839), and sprains and strains (840–848) are grouped in ICD-10-CM by site, such as injuries to the head (S00–S09), injuries to the neck (S10–S19), and injuries to the thorax (S20–S29).
The S seventh character identifies the injury responsible for the sequela. The specific type of sequela (e.g., scar) is sequenced first, followed by the injury code. Sequela is the new terminology in ICD-10-CM for late effects in ICD-9-CM and using the sequela seventh character replaces the late effects categories (905–909) in ICD-9-CM.
The classes are I, II, and III, with the third class further subdivided into A, B, or C.
ICD-10-CM provides greater specificity in coding injuries than ICD-9-CM. While many of the coding guidelines for injuries remain the same as ICD-9-CM, ICD-10-CM does include some new features, such as seventh characters.
