Right radius (forearm bone) fracture ICD-10-CM S52.501A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0): 562 Fracture, sprain, strain and dislocation except femur, hip, pelvis and thigh with mcc 563 Fracture, sprain, strain and dislocation except femur, hip, pelvis and thigh without mcc
Reduction of a displaced fracture is coded to the root operation Reposition and the application of a cast or splint in conjunction with the Reposition procedure is not coded separately. Treatment of a non-displaced fracture is coded to the procedure performed.
Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning of right distal radius fracture and closed reduction of right distal ulna fracture. Who are the experts? Experts are tested by Chegg as specialists in their subject area.
Short description: Unsp fracture of the lower end of right radius, init The 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM S52.501A became effective on October 1, 2019. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S52.501A - other international versions of ICD-10 S52.501A may differ.

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.
When a fracture happens, it's classified as either open or closed: Open fracture (also called compound fracture): The bone pokes through the skin and can be seen, or a deep wound exposes the bone through the skin. Closed fracture (also called simple fracture). The bone is broken, but the skin is intact.
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.

The definition for the Transplantation root operation provided in the 2014 ICD-10-PCS Reference Manual is "Putting in or on all or a portion of a living body part taken from another individual or animal to physically take the place and/or function of all or a portion of a similar body part." The body part value represents the site of the transplantation.
The following is an example of how ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-PCS compare in code assignment for Transplantation procedures.
The definition for the root operation Reattachment provided in the 2014 ICD-10-PCS Reference Manual is, "Putting back in or on all or a portion of a separated body part to its normal location or other suitable location." Reattachment procedures include putting back a body part that has been cut off or avulsed.
