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.
D (subsequent encounter) describes any encounter after the active phase of treatment, when the patient is receiving routine care for the injury during the period of healing or recovery. S (sequela) indicates a complication or condition that arises as a direct result of an injury.
Under both ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM nomenclatures, a decimal is placed after the first three characters. All ICD-10-CM codes require longer descriptions due to more extensive specificity. ICD-9-CM contains approximately 14,000 diagnostic codes, compared to 68,000 diagnostic codes under ICD-10-CM.
