What makes a fracture “compound” or “open” is when the broken bone pierces your skin. If you happen to fall from a ladder and land on your arm, breaking it, you'll know it's a compound fracture if you can see the bone. “Simple” or “closed” fractures don't break through your skin.

So a physeal fracture of the distal femur would be reported as 821.22 for a closed fracture or 821.32 for an open fracture. It should be noted that these codes are not specific to Salter-Harris fractures. These codes are used for any fracture or separation of the epiphysis in the lower end of the femur. These codes are reported both for adults (who have closed growth plates) and children and adolescents (who have open growth plates) even though the potential for complications, including arrested bone growth, is much greater for children and adolescents.
When a physeal fracture occurs, the cartilaginous tissue of the growth plate becomes disrupted or separated, and when this occurs, bone growth may be affected. In the United States, physeal fractures are classified by severity using a system developed in 1963 by Robert Salter and W. Robert Harris; the system is known as ...
However, these codes should be used rarely as documentation ; in most instances, identification of the Salter-Harris classification will be possible, as well as the side affected. If the documentation does not include this information, the physician should be queried so that the most specific code can be assigned.
