ICD-10-CM Code S52.612. Displaced fracture of left ulna styloid process. S52.612 is a non-billable ICD-10 code for Displaced fracture of left ulna styloid process.
Wrist fractures often involve the ends of two bones in your forearm—the radius and the ulna. The bony part of your wrist next to your pinky finger is the end of the ulna, also known as the ulnar styloid process. When you break that part of the wrist, it's called an ulnar styloid fracture.
The ulnar styloid process is a continuation of the prominent subcutaneous ridge of the shaft of the ulna, which projects distally towards the triquetral bone for a variable distance (2–6 mm).
The rounded end of the styloid process of the ulna connects to the ulnar collateral ligament of the wrist. The radioulnar ligaments also attaches to the base of the styloid process of the ulna.
Avulsion fracture (chip fracture) of talus The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S92. 15 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S92.
wristThe ulnar styloid is located at nearly the ulnar-most (the opposite side of the humerus with the elbow flexed) and slightly dorsal aspects of the ulnar head on the axial plane. It should appear almost midway (55% dorsally) from the ulnar head on the standard lateral view of the wrist in neutral forearm rotation.
petrous temporal boneThe styloid process projects from the inferior part of the petrous temporal bone and offers attachment to the stylohyoid ligament and the stylohyoid, stylopharyngeus, and styloglossus muscles.
end of the radius, the styloid process, may be felt on the outside of the wrist where it joins the hand. The inside surface of this process presents the U-shaped ulnar notch in which the ulna articulates.
Distal Radius and Ulna The distal forearm is bordered laterally by the radial styloid process and medially by the ulnar styloid process. The radial tubercle, also called Lister's tubercle, is a small, palpable projection on the dorsal aspect of the distal radius.
Definition of styloid : resembling a style : styliform —used especially of slender pointed skeletal processes (as on the ulna)
An avulsion fracture occurs when a small chunk of bone attached to a tendon or ligament gets pulled away from the main part of the bone. The hip, elbow and ankle are the most common locations for avulsion fractures in the young athlete.
a forcible separation or detachmentDefinition of avulsion : a forcible separation or detachment: such as. a : a tearing away of a body part accidentally or surgically. b : a sudden cutting off of land by flood, currents, or change in course of a body of water especially : one separating land from one person's property and joining it to another's.
Your fibula is the outer bone in your lower leg. A fibular avulsion fracture is usually caused by a sudden inward rolling of your foot. This puts too much stress on your ligament and causes it to pull off a small piece of bone. This causes swelling and pain that makes walking difficult or impossible.
