Ulna and Radius Fractures: What You Need to Know
What types of bone fractures are there? Healthcare providers can usually categorize a bone fracture based on its features. The categories include: Closed or open fractures: If the injury doesn’t break open the skin, it’s called a closed fracture. If the skin does open, it’s called an open fracture or compound fracture.
Treatment for osteonecrosis depends on a number of factors, including:

ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 733.81 : Malunion of fracture.
Multiple fractures of ribs ICD-10-CM S22. 43XA is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):
Unspecified fracture of lower end of unspecified ulna, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II. S52. 609B 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 S52.
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.
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 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S52.
A fracture of the distal radius occurs when the radius — one of the two long bones in the forearm — breaks close to the wrist. Distal radius fractures are very common. In fact, the radius is the most commonly broken bone in the arm.
A malunion occurs when a fractured bone heals in an abnormal position, which can lead to impaired function of the bone or limb and make it look like it is 'bent'. Similarly, a nonunion is the result of a fractured bone failing to heal after an extended period of time – in some cases over a period of 9 to 12 months.
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.
Delayed union is defined as the absence of radiographic progression of healing or the instability of a fracture upon clinical examination between 4 and 6 months after injury. Non-union is defined as a fracture that does not unite within 9–12 months. or the extension of the healing process beyond the expected rate.
