Distal Radius Fracture ICD-10 S52.539A | eORIF Distal Radius Fracture ICD-10 S52.539A Distal Radius Fracture S52.539A S52.501A - Unspecified fracture of the lower end of right radius, initial encounter for closed fracture
Short description: Greenstick fracture of shaft of radius, left arm, init The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S52.312A became effective on October 1, 2021.
Distal Radius Fracture ICD-10 S52.539A. Distal Radius Fracture S52.539A. S52.511A - Displaced fracture of right radial styloid process, initial encounter for closed fracture. S52.514A - Nondisplaced fracture of right radial styloid process, initial encounter for closed fracture.
S52.312 is a non-billable ICD-10 code for Greenstick fracture of shaft of radius, left arm. It should not be used for HIPAA-covered transactions as a more specific code is available to choose from below.
A greenstick fracture occurs when a bone bends and cracks, instead of breaking completely into separate pieces. The fracture looks similar to what happens when you try to break a small, "green" branch on a tree. Most greenstick fractures occur in children younger than 10 years of age.

ICD-10 code S52. 501A for Unspecified fracture of the lower end of right radius, initial encounter for closed fracture is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
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.
CPT® 25605 in section: Closed treatment of distal radial fracture (eg, Colles or Smith type) or epiphyseal separation, includes closed treatment of fracture of ulnar styloid, when performed.

Open reduction and internal fixation was designated by the CPT codes 25607, 25608, or 25609 (open treatment of extra- or intra-articular distal radius fracture). Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning was designated by the CPT code 25606 (percutaneous fixation distal radius fracture).
The Anatomy of the Radius It is located on the lateral side of the forearm parallel to the ulna (in anatomical position with arms hanging at the sides of the body, palms facing forward) between the thumb and the elbow.

S62.91XAICD-10 code S62. 91XA for Unspecified fracture of right wrist and hand, initial encounter for closed fracture is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
D (subsequent encounter) describes any encounter after the active phase of treatment, when the patient is receiving routine care for the injury during the period of healing or recovery. S (sequela) indicates a complication or condition that arises as a direct result of an injury.
Fractures are coded using the appropriate 7th character extension for subsequent care for encounters after the patient has completed active treatment of the fracture and is receiving routine care for the fracture during the healing or recovery phase.
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.
