Finding the right fracture code ... Use 25600 for “closed treatment of distal radial fracture (e.g., Colles or Smith type) or epiphyseal separation, with or without fracture of ulnar styloid; without manipulation.”
When the radius breaks near the wrist, it is called a distal radius fracture. The break usually happens due to falling on an outstretched or flexed hand. It can also happen in a car accident, a bike accident, a skiing accident or another sports activity.
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.
A fracture of the distal radius occurs when the radius — one of the two long bones in the forearm — breaks close to the wrist. Distal radius fractures are very common. In fact, the radius is the most commonly broken bone in the arm.
ICD-10 Code for Unspecified fracture of right wrist and hand, initial encounter for closed fracture- S62. 91XA- Codify by AAPC.
501A Unspecified fracture of the lower end of right radius, initial encounter for closed fracture.
25607. Open treatment of distal radial extra-articular fracture or epiphyseal separation; with internal fixation.
CPT code 25607 is reported for open treatment of the fracture with internal fixation; CPT code 25608 for fracture repair in which two fragments of bone in the joint receive internal fixation; and CPT code 25609 for fracture repair in which three or more fragments of bone in the joint receive internal fixation.
A Colles fracture is a break in the radius close to the wrist. It was named for the surgeon who first described it. Typically, the break is located about an inch (2.5 centimeters) below where the bone joins the wrist. A Colles fracture is a common fracture that happens more often in women than men.
