When distal radius fractures are not simple fracture patterns, reduction may best be performed in the hands of an orthopedist or hand surgeon. Highly comminuted intra-articular fractures are unstable in anyone’s hands and will require surgery.
What is left femur fracture? A femur fracture is a break, crack, or crush injury of the thigh bone. It is sometimes referred to as a hip fracture or broken hip when the break is in the upper part of the bone near the hip joint area. Femur fractures that are simple, short cracks in the bone usually do not require surgery. What is the ICD 9 cm code for femur?
The humerus is the long bone of your upper arm. It extends from your shoulder to your elbow, where it joins with the ulna and radius bones of your forearm. A humerus fracture refers to any break in this bone.

Distal radius fractures are very common in two subsets of patients: children and the middle-aged. They are the most common arm fracture in kids, as they spend a great deal of time at play, which can lead to falls. These fractures are typically non-displaced, or 'greenstick,' fractures.
The part of the radius connected to the wrist joint is called the distal radius. When the radius breaks near the wrist, it is called a distal radius fracture. The break usually happens due to falling on an outstretched or flexed hand.
Patients were identified by an electronic procedural code search for distal radius ORIF (CPT 25607, 25608, and 25609).
This fracture is a common injury in children. It is often caused from falling on the hand. This fracture causes one side of the bone to bend, but does not actually break through the entire bone. It is an incomplete fracture that normally heals within one month.
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.

A Colles fracture is a break in the radius close to the wrist. It was named for the surgeon who first described it. Typically, the break is located about an inch (2.5 centimeters) below where the bone joins the wrist. A Colles fracture is a common fracture that happens more often in women than men.
CPT Code: 25605 A closed reduction is a procedure that is done to restore normal alignment of a dislocated joint or fractured bone where the affected bones are simply manipulated and no incision is necessary. The bones are manipulated by applying traction and a cast is used to hold them in place.
Use 25600 for “closed treatment of distal radial fracture (e.g., Colles or Smith type) or epiphyseal separation, with or without fracture of ulnar styloid; without manipulation.”
