Bilateral skull fractures can occur from two direct impact sites, such as two separate blows to the head in inflicted injury. Abusive head trauma, which usually involves violent shaking of an infant, can occur with or without impact of the head against a hard surface.
A simple fracture is a break in the bone without damage to the skin. A linear skull fracture is a break in a cranial bone resembling a thin line, without splintering, depression, or distortion of bone.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S52. 501A: Unspecified fracture of the lower end of right radius, initial encounter for closed fracture.
There are four major types of skull fractures, including the following:Linear skull fractures. This is the most common type of skull fracture. ... Depressed skull fractures. This type of fracture may be seen with or without a cut in the scalp. ... Diastatic skull fractures. ... Basilar skull fracture.
The parietal bone is most frequently fractured, followed by the temporal, occipital, and frontal bones [10]. Linear fractures are the most common, followed by depressed and basilar skull fractures. (See 'Definition and presentation of skull fracture types' below.)
A nondisplaced fracture is one in which the bone cracks or breaks but retains its proper alignment. Nondisplaced fractures often require only bracing, booting or casting treatment.
Displaced oblique fractures Non-displaced fractures are still broken bones, but the pieces weren't moved far enough to be out of alignment during the break. Displaced fractures are much more likely to require surgery to repair.
A basilar skull fracture, or skull base fracture, is a type of traumatic head injury that involves a break in at least one of the bones at the base of the skull. The base of the skull is a complex structure that forms the floor of the cranial cavity and separates the brain from the head and neck.

Unspecified fracture of facial bones, initial encounter for open fracture. S02. 92XB is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
When a fracture happens, it's classified as either open or closed: Open fracture (also called compound fracture): The bone pokes through the skin and can be seen, or a deep wound exposes the bone through the skin. Closed fracture (also called simple fracture). The bone is broken, but the skin is intact.
A skull fracture is a head injury where there is a break in the skull bone. While mild breaks can cause few problems and heal over time, severe breaks can lead to complications including bleeding, brain damage, leaking of cerebrospinal fluid, infection and seizures.
Skull fractures can take three to six months to heal completely. They usually heal faster in younger children. Have your child avoid rough sports until the doctor tells you it is OK to begin again. Your child may need a follow-up CT scan to make sure the skull fracture is healing properly.
Most people who have a fractured skull survive. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2017, 27 percent of people with a severe brain injury did not survive.
“They very likely include changes in cognition and, yes, memory loss.” We know much more about the short-term effects, which include headache, seizures, dizziness, insomnia, depression, irritability, double vision, changes in smell, facial pain and the loss of memory.

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.
ICD Code S02.91 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use specify a 7th character that describes the diagnosis 'unspecified fracture of skull' in more detail. The 7th characters that can be added, and the resulting billable codes, are as follows:
Facial trauma, also called maxillofacial trauma, is any physical trauma to the face. Facial trauma can involve soft tissue injuries such as burns, lacerations and bruises, or fractures of the facial bones such as nasal fractures and fractures of the jaw, as well as trauma such as eye injuries. Symptoms are specific to the type of injury; for example, fractures may involve pain, swelling, loss of function, or changes in the shape of facial structures.
