000A for Wedge compression fracture of unspecified thoracic vertebra, initial encounter for closed fracture is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
Incidence and Prevalence. Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) occur when the bony block or vertebral body in the spine collapses, which can lead to severe pain, deformity and loss of height. These fractures more commonly occur in the thoracic spine (the middle portion of the spine), especially in the lower part.
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.
There are many different types of spinal fractures: Compression, Burst, Flexion-distraction, and Fracture-dislocation.
A thoracic spine fracture, also called a vertebral compression fracture, happens when a bone in the spine collapses. This occurs most often in the lower vertebrae in the thoracic spine. Most thoracic spine fractures are due to accidents, such as an automobile accident, a fall or sports injury.
Thoracic vertebrae are the twelve vertebral segments (T1-T12) that make up the thoracic spine. These structures have very little motion because they are firmly attached to the ribs and sternum (breastbone).

Compression fractures (52%) were the most common injury in the thoracic spine, while transverse process fractures (48%) were the most common injuries in the lumbar spine. Conclusions: The prevalence of TL injuries in ED blunt trauma patients undergoing TL radiographs is 6.3%.
The most common type of spine fracture is a vertebral body compression fracture (Fig. 2). Sudden downward force shatters and collapses the body of the vertebrae. If the force is great enough, it may send bone fragments into the spinal canal, called a burst fracture.
Compression fractures are small breaks or cracks in the vertebrae (the bones that make up your spinal column). The breaks happen in the vertebral body, which is the thick, rounded part on the front of each vertebra. Fractures in the bone cause the spine to weaken and collapse.
Compression fractures usually heal on their own in about 3 months. While that happens, your doctor may suggest you try some things at home that can make you feel better, such as pain medicines, rest, physical therapy, or a back brace.
The most common treatments for a thoracic compression fracture are: pain medications, decreasing activity, and bracing. In rare cases, surgery may also be necessary. Mild pain medications can reduce pain when taken properly. However, remember that medications will not help the fracture to heal.
Pain that gets worse when you stand or walk but with some relief when you lie down. Trouble bending or twisting your body. Loss of height. A curved, stooped shape to your spine.
Fracture-dislocations of the thoracic and lumbar spine are caused by very high-energy trauma. They can be extremely unstable injuries that often result in serious spinal cord or nerve damage. These injuries require stabilization through surgery. The ideal timing of surgery can often be complicated.
