ICD-10-CM Code S42.241 4-part fracture of surgical neck of right humerus. ICD Code S42.241 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use specify a 7th character that describes the diagnosis '4-part fracture of surgical neck of right humerus' in more detail.
The humerus is the long bone of your upper arm. It extends from your shoulder to your elbow, where it joins with the ulna and radius bones of your forearm. A humerus fracture refers to any break in this bone.
Femoral neck fractures are a specific type of intracapsular hip fracture. The femoral neck connects the femoral shaft with the femoral head. The hip joint is the articulation of the femoral head with the acetabulum. The junctional location makes the femoral neck prone to fracture. The blood supply of the femoral head is an essential consideration in displaced fractures as it runs along the femoral neck.
Unspecified nondisplaced fracture of surgical neck of right humerus, initial encounter for closed fracture. S42. 214A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
2-PART FRACTURE: This is when the proximal humerus is broken into two pieces, meaning there is one fracture line on x-ray. Commonly, this will be a fracture of the greater tuberosity, which is the part of the humerus where the rotator cuff attaches.
The surgical neck of the humerus is a constriction below the tubercles of the greater tubercle and lesser tubercle, and above the deltoid tuberosity, specifically found at the proximal end of the body of the humerus, and distally towards the greater tubercle and lesser tubercle.
Unspecified fracture of shaft of humerus, unspecified arm, initial encounter for closed fracture. S42. 309A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S42.
In four-part fractures of the proximal humerus, the humeral head, both tuberosities, and the shaft are separated from one another (Fig. 1), whereas in three-part fractures, one of the tuberosities remains attached to the humeral head [1].
A proximal humeral fracture refers to a break involving the area surrounding the humeral head, which is commonly known as the ball of the shoulder's ball-and-socket joint. The humeral head is located at the top of the humerus (upper arm bone).
The anatomical neck of the humerus is located distal to the head of the humerus, at an oblique angle to the shaft of the humerus. The surgical neck of the humerus on the other hand is a constriction of the humerus located inferior to the greater and lesser tubercles.

A humerus fracture is the medical name for breaking the bone in your upper arm (your humerus). Humerus fractures are usually caused by traumas like car accidents or falls. If you break your humerus, you might need surgery to repair your bone.
The shoulder (also known as the glenohumeral joint) is a ball and socket joint located where the top of the upper arm bone (humerus) meets the glenoid socket.
