ICD-10 Code for Unspecified fracture of shaft of left ulna- S52. 202- Codify by AAPC.
A distal ulna fracture, or isolated ulnar shaft fracture, is a type of fracture that occurs along the length of the ulna bone, which is one of the two bones in the forearm.
An ulna fracture is a break in the ulna bone, one of the two bones in the forearm. It is often associated with a fracture of the other forearm bone, the radius.

ICD-10 code S52. 501A for Unspecified fracture of the lower end of right radius, 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 .
The lateral, distal end of the ulna is the head of the ulna. It articulates with the ulnar notch on the radius and with the triangular articular disc in the Wrist Joint.
A distal radius fracture can be isolated, which means no other fractures are involved. It can also occur along with a fracture of the distal ulna (the forearm bone on the small finger side). In these cases, the injury is called a distal radius and ulna fracture.
The radius is the bone on the thumb side and the ulna is the bone on the little finger side. People may break both of these bones when they trip and hold an arm out to stop the fall. The distal (closest to the hand) part of the bones are most likely to be injured.
The ulna (pl. ulnae or ulnas) is a long bone found in the forearm that stretches from the elbow to the smallest finger, and when in anatomical position, is found on the medial side of the forearm. It runs parallel to the radius, the other long bone in the forearm.
Proximal ulna fractures is an umbrella term for a wide spectrum of injuries, ranging from simple fragility fractures to high energy complex trauma. This term includes fractures involving the ulno-trochlear joint (olecranon & coronoid) and the proximal radioulnar joint (monteggia fracture-dislocation and its variants).
The radius is located in the forearm, the part of the arm between the elbow and the wrist. In the anatomical position with the arms straight and palms held forward at the level of the hips, the radius is positioned parallel and lateral to (outside of) the ulna.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S52.201A became effective on October 1, 2021.
