S32.424 is a non-billable ICD-10 code for Nondisplaced fracture of posterior wall of right acetabulum. It should not be used for HIPAA-covered transactions as a more specific code is available to choose from below.
S32.425A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. Short description: Nondisp fx of posterior wall of left acetabulum, init The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM S32.425A became effective on October 1, 2020.
ICD Code S32.4 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the ten child codes of S32.4 that describes the diagnosis 'fracture of acetabulum' in more detail. Abdominal trauma is an injury to the abdomen.
A posterior wall acetabular fracture is a specific break in the back part of your hip socket. This back wall of bone is important as it helps keep the ball of your femur in the socket.
Single-fragment posterior-wall fractures occurred in 30% of fractures in Letournel's series. They can occur in the posterosuperior aspect of the joint and involve the roof, or weight-bearing “dome,” of the joint.
733.82 - Nonunion of fracture.
An acetabular fracture is a break in the socket portion of the "ball-and-socket" hip joint. These hip socket fractures are not common — they occur much less frequently than fractures of the upper femur or femoral head (the "ball" portion of the joint).
The acetabulum (plural: acetabula) is the large cup-shaped cavity on the anterolateral aspect of the pelvis that articulates with the femoral head to form the hip joint.
acetabulum: cup-shaped depression in the mid-outer pelvis known as the hip; this is the socket of the ball-and-socket joint of the hip. acetabular notch: a notch at the inferior margin of the fovea centralis.
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.
Unspecified fracture of sternum, subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion. S22. 20XK is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Nonunion and malunion fractures are identified with defective healing: nonunion describes the failure of a fractured bone to heal and mend after an extended period of time; malunion refers to a fracture that has healed in a deformed position, or with shortening or rotation of the limb.
Pelvic fractures may occur at any location on the bones depending on the nature of the accident and the areas of impact. The acetabulum refers to the part of the pelvis that meets the upper end of the thigh bone (the femoral head to form the hip joint.
Posterior column fractures involve the posterior portion of the acetabulum, disconnecting it from the sciatic buttress (Fig 6, Movie 3). The fracture runs from the greater sciatic notch through the acetabulum and the obturator foramen and into the ischiopubic ramus.
The length of the posterior acetabular arc is determined from the contralateral uninjured hip at the same level (Y). X divided by Y multiplied by 100 provides the index. Middle panel, Keith et al method, which measures wall size at the level of the fovea.
A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an open or compound fracture. Fractures commonly happen because of car accidents, falls, or sports injuries. Other causes are low bone density and osteoporosis, which cause weakening of the bones. Overuse can cause stress fractures, which are very small cracks in the bone.
S32.425D is exempt from POA reporting - The Present on Admission (POA) indicator is used for diagnosis codes included in claims involving inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals. POA indicators must be reported to CMS on each claim to facilitate the grouping of diagnoses codes into the proper Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG). CMS publishes a listing of specific diagnosis codes that are exempt from the POA reporting requirement. Review other POA exempt codes here .
The ICD code S32 is used to code Abdominal trauma. Abdominal trauma is an injury to the abdomen. It may be blunt or penetrating and may involve damage to the abdominal organs. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, rigidity, and bruising of the external abdomen. Abdominal trauma presents a risk of severe blood loss and infection.
Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code S32.4 is a non-billable code.
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.
