Definition/Description. T9-T10 chance fracture from MVA. Most thoracic spine fractures occur in the lower thoracic spine, with 60% to 70% of thoraco-lumbar fractures occurring in the T11 to L2 region, which is bio-mechanically weak for stress. The majority of these fractures occur without spinal cord injury.
0: Fracture of thoracic vertebra.
Categories grouped by injury in ICD-9-CM such as fractures (800–829), dislocations (830–839), and sprains and strains (840–848) are grouped in ICD-10-CM by site, such as injuries to the head (S00–S09), injuries to the neck (S10–S19), and injuries to the thorax (S20–S29).

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.
The ICD 10 coding scheme for reporting injury is as follows:First three characters: General category.Fourth character: The type of injury.Fifth character: Which body part was injured.Sixth character: Which hand was injured.Seventh character: The type of encounter (A, D, or S)
Unspecified fracture of the lower end of right radius, initial encounter for closed fracture. S52. 501A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
The general consensus is to use the fracture care codes designated as “closed treatment without manipulation” and bill the initial E/M with modifier 57.
In a compression fracture, the vertebral body collapses. The most common type of compression fracture is a wedge fracture, in which the front of the vertebral body collapses but the back does not, meaning that the bone assumes a wedge shape.
A Chance fracture is an unstable spine fracture that typically occurs at the thoracolumbar junction. It is a horizontal fracture extending from posterior to anterior through the spinous process, pedicles, and vertebral body.
