ICD Code S42.35 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the six child codes of S42.35 that describes the diagnosis 'comminuted fracture of shaft of humerus' in more detail. A Holstein–Lewis fracture is a fracture of the distal third of the humerus resulting in entrapment of the radial nerve.
ICD-10-CM provides greater specificity in coding injuries than ICD-9-CM. While many of the coding guidelines for injuries remain the same as ICD-9-CM, ICD-10-CM does include some new features, such as seventh characters. Chapter 19 is titled "Injury, Poisoning, and Certain Other Consequences of External Causes (S00–T88)."
Comminuted fractures of the proximal humerus impair shoulder function, resulting in more or less severe disability. They rank among the most frequent fractures in adults, with incidence increasing with age and the degree of bone loss (osteoporosis).
Displaced comminuted fracture of shaft of unspecified femur, initial encounter for closed fracture. S72. 353A 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 S72.
ICD-10 code S42. 2 for Fracture of upper end of humerus is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
What Is a Displaced Proximal Humerus Fracture? When the bone is not in proper alignment, the fracture is called displaced. In proximal humerus fractures, the severity is often described by how many of the major parts of the proximal humerus fracture are displaced.
ICD-10 code S82. 25 for Comminuted fracture of shaft of tibia is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
Comminuted fractures are a type of broken bone. The term comminuted fracture refers to a bone that is broken in at least two places. Comminuted fractures are caused by severe traumas like car accidents. You will need surgery to repair your bone, and recovery can take a year or longer. Appointments 216.444.2606.
3-PART FRACTURE: This is when the proximal humerus is broken into three pieces, and there are then two fracture lines on x-ray. This most often involves the greater tuberosity and the surgical neck of the humerus.
shoulderThe shoulder (also known as the glenohumeral joint) is a ball and socket joint located where the top of the upper arm bone (humerus) meets the glenoid socket.
Fracture of femur ICD-10-CM S72. 309A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):
The broken bone will take 3 to 4 months to heal. During this time, you will need to perform exercises to regain range of motion, strength, and return to normal activities. Even if surgery is performed, recovery of full function often takes as long as 18 months.
The most frequently fractured site of the humerus especially in elderly is the surgical neck which is an area of constriction distal to the tuberosities. The deforming forces relevant to PHFs include: pectoralis major: displaces humeral shaft anterior/medial.
They found screw perforation to be the most common complication (22%) and reported an 8% rate of avascular necrosis. Sudkamp et al. [29] followed 187 patients treated with ORIF using a locking proximal humeral plate.
Most fractures of the proximal humerus can be treated without surgery if the bone fragments are not shifted out of position (displaced). If the fragments are shifted out of position, surgery is often performed to allow earlier mobility.
Proximal humerus fractures can be fixed with plates and screws or joint replacement depending on the type of injury. Surgery usually takes 1-2 hours and can often be done on a “same day” or outpatient basis. Ideally, surgeons like to perform surgery within 1-2 weeks of injury.
For a fractured proximal humerus, a sling may be needed for up to two weeks. For a fractured scapula, doctors usually recommend wearing a sling until you can move the shoulder without significant pain—anywhere from two to four weeks.
Your humerus is the only bone in your upper arm, and it's one of the strongest bones in your body. Usually, people who experience humerus fractures are involved in a serious trauma like a car accident. Even if you need surgery to repair your bone, you should expect to make a full recovery after a humerus fracture.
S42.35 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of comminuted fracture of shaft of humerus.

A Holstein–Lewis fracture is a fracture of the distal third of the humerus resulting in entrapment of the radial nerve.
In ICD-10-CM, injuries are grouped by body part rather than by category, so all injuries of a specific site (such as head and neck) are grouped together rather than groupings of all fractures or all open wounds. 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).
The classes are I, II, and III, with the third class further subdivided into A, B, or C.
The S seventh character identifies the injury responsible for the sequela. The specific type of sequela (e.g., scar) is sequenced first, followed by the injury code. Sequela is the new terminology in ICD-10-CM for late effects in ICD-9-CM and using the sequela seventh character replaces the late effects categories (905–909) in ICD-9-CM.
Subsequent encounter (D) is used for encounters after the patient has received active treatment of the injury and is receiving routine care for the injury during the healing or recovery phase (e.g., cast change or removal, an x-ray to check healing status of fracture, removal of external or internal fixation device, medication adjustment, other aftercare and follow-up visits following injury treatment).
The following coding guidance is provided at the beginning of the chapter, "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. The Official Coding Guidelines clarified the use of external cause codes in 2014. The guidelines state: “There is no national requirement for mandatory ICD-10-CM external cause code reporting. Unless a provider is subject to a state-based external cause code reporting mandate or these codes are required by a particular payer, reporting of ICD-10-CM codes in Chapter 20, External Causes of Morbidity, is not required. In the absence of a mandatory reporting requirement, providers are encouraged to voluntarily report external cause codes, as they provide valuable data for injury research and evaluation of injury prevention strategies.”
When coding a poisoning or reaction to the improper use of a medication (e.g., overdose, wrong substance given or taken in error, wrong route of administration), assign first the appropriate code from categories T36–T50. The sequencing for a toxic effect of substances chiefly nonmedicinal as to source (T51-T65) is the same as for coding poisonings. Poisoning codes have an associated intent: accidental, intentional self-harm, assault, and undetermined. Use additional code (s) for all manifestations of poisonings.
