To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the six child codes of S12.0 that describes the diagnosis 'fracture of first cervical vertebra' in more detail. A Jefferson fracture is a bone fracture of the anterior and posterior arches of the C1 vertebra, though it may also appear as a three- or two-part fracture.
2019 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S12.11 Type II dens fracture Non-Billable/Non-Specific Code Code History Reimbursement claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015 require the use of ICD-10-CM codes.
The fracture may result from an axial load on the back of the head or hyperextension of the neck (e.g. caused by diving), causing a posterior break, and may be accompanied by a break in other parts of the cervical spine. The ICD-10-CM Alphabetical Index links the below-listed medical terms to the ICD code S12.03.
Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code S12.03 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the two child codes of S12.03 that describes the diagnosis 'posterior arch fracture of first cervical vertebra' in more detail.
A Jefferson fracture is a bone fracture of the vertebra C1. The vertebra C1 is a bony ring, with two wedge-shaped lateral masses, connected by relatively thin anterior and posterior arches and a transverse ligament. The lateral mass on vertebra C1, who is taller, is directed laterally.

2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S52. 501A: Unspecified fracture of the lower end of right radius, initial encounter for closed fracture.
A hangman's fracture is a break in the second vertebra of your neck, called the C2, or axis. This bone forms a ring around your spinal cord. A hangman's fracture occurs on both sides of this bone. Despite its gruesome name, a hangman's fracture is rarely caused by hangings.
000A for Unspecified displaced fracture of first cervical vertebra, 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 .
A type II odontoid fracture is a break that occurs through a specific part of C2, the second bone in the neck. Bones of the spine are called vertebrae. The bone involved in odontoid fracture is the second vertebra, C2, high up in the neck.
A type III odontoid fracture is a fracture through the body of the C2 vertebrae and may involve a variable portion of the C1 and C2 facets. Type III odontoid fractures occur secondary to hyperextension or hyperflexion of the cervical spine in a similar manner to type II odontoid fractures.
Type II fractures occur at the base of the dens and are the most common odontoid fractures. This type is associated with a high prevalence of nonunion due to the limited vascular supply and small area of cancellous bone. Type III odontoid fracture occurs when the fracture line extends into the body of the axis.

The ICD 10 coding scheme for reporting injury is as follows:First three characters: General category.Fourth character: The type of injury.Fifth character: Which body part was injured.Sixth character: Which hand was injured.Seventh character: The type of encounter (A, D, or S)
ICD-10-CM Code for Unspecified fracture of the lower end of right radius, initial encounter for closed fracture S52. 501A.
The ICD code S120 is used to code Jefferson fracture. A Jefferson fracture is a bone fracture of the anterior and posterior arches of the C1 vertebra, though it may also appear as a three- or two-part fracture.
S12.03. Non-Billable means the code is not sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code S12.03 is a non-billable code.
The fracture may result from an axial load on the back of the head or hyperextension of the neck (e.g. caused by diving ), causing a posterior break, and may be accompanied by a break in other parts of the cervical spine. Specialty:
Type II dens fracture 1 S12.11 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM S12.11 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S12.11 - other international versions of ICD-10 S12.11 may differ.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes. birth trauma ( P10-P15)
