In vitro studies reveal that the most likely type of failure of this anterior part of the spine is a fracture of the endplate as a result of compression. The high incidence of aspecific low back pain concurs with the likeliness of compression fractures of the endplate to occur in everyday life.
Compression fractures of the spine usually occur at the bottom part of the thoracic spine (T11 and T12) and the first vertebra of the lumbar spine (L1). Compression fractures of the spine generally occur from too much pressure on the vertebral body.
ICD-10-CM Code for Wedge compression fracture of unspecified thoracic vertebra, initial encounter for closed fracture S22. 000A.
Unspecified fracture of unspecified thoracic vertebra, initial encounter for closed fracture. S22. 009A 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 S22.
Traumatic end plate fracture (EPF) refers to the EPF caused by trauma, rather than the pathological status of the end plate (EP). It is mainly need to differentiated from the osteoporosis EPF, which is characterized by low bone density and microstructure degradation, leading bone to fracture in a low-energy.
The T12, or twelfth thoracic vertebra is the largest of all your thoracic vertebrae, and is the lowermost in the back. It's designed to bear the weight of your spine, and is the strongest of all vertebrae in the region, but it's also the most prone to injuries from stress.
In ICD-10-CM, codes for compression and pathologic fractures of the spine (not due to trauma) are located in Chapter 13, Diseases of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue. Category M48. 5-, Collapsed vertebra, not elsewhere classifiable is used for vertebrae fracture where no cause is listed.
If you have no other documentation about the fracture (e.g. whether this is a pathological or a traumatic fracture), then this would code to category M48. 5 - Compression fracture of vertebra NOS, so I would use M48. 56XA for the lumbar site.

S22. 040 - Wedge compression fracture of fourth thoracic vertebra | ICD-10-CM.
This is the most severe type of spinal fracture because it can result in compressing the nerves, leading to neurological complications.
A spinal fracture takes between six and 12 weeks to heal. During the healing process, spinal bones don't return to their normal shape. They heal in their new compressed shape.
A T12 spinal cord injury affects lower body functions such as walking and bowel and bladder functions. Fortunately, individuals with T12 spinal cord injuries generally have normal, full functioning of their upper bodies, which allows a great deal of independence.
Outlook (Prognosis) Most compression fractures due to injury heal in 8 to 10 weeks with rest, wearing of a brace, and pain medicines. However, recovery can take much longer if surgery was done.
Stable burst fracture of T11-T12 vertebra, initial encounter for open fracture 1 S22.081B is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 Short description: Stable burst fracture of T11-T12 vertebra, init for opn fx 3 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM S22.081B became effective on October 1, 2020. 4 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S22.081B - other international versions of ICD-10 S22.081B may differ.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
