2012 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Codes 812.* : Fracture of humerus A traumatic or pathologic injury to the humerus in which the continuity of the humerus is broken.
812.09 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of other closed fracture of upper end of humerus. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
563 Fracture, sprain, strain and dislocation except femur, hip, pelvis and thigh without mcc Reimbursement claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015 require the use of ICD-10-CM codes.
The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
ICD-10 code S42. 301A for Unspecified fracture of shaft of humerus, right arm, 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 .
A humerus fracture is the medical name for breaking the bone in your upper arm (your humerus). Humerus fractures are usually caused by traumas like car accidents or falls. If you break your humerus, you might need surgery to repair your bone.

ICD-9 code 821.01 for Fracture of shaft of femur closed is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range -FRACTURE OF LOWER LIMB (820-829).
There are three types of humerus fracture, depending on the location of the break:Proximal. A proximal humerus fracture is a break in the upper part of your humerus near your shoulder.Mid-shaft. A mid-shaft humerus fracture is a break in the middle of your humerus.Distal.
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.
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.
humerus, long bone of the upper limb or forelimb of land vertebrates that forms the shoulder joint above, where it articulates with a lateral depression of the shoulder blade (glenoid cavity of scapula), and the elbow joint below, where it articulates with projections of the ulna and the radius.

Fracture of femur ICD-10-CM S72. 309A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):
Unspecified fracture of lower end of right femur, initial encounter for closed fracture. S72. 401A 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.
Most proximal humerus fractures can be treated without surgery. 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.
Recovery from a fixation of the proximal humerus procedure will take some time. You will spend about four to six weeks protecting your arm in a sling. As your recovery progresses, you will also work on physical therapy exercises to build strength and range of motion in your arm.
Most proximal humerus fractures can be treated without surgery if the bone fragments have not shifted out of place. This usually involves some form of physical therapy. If the proximal humerus is broken into many pieces, surgery may be required to realign the bone fragments.
A humerus shaft fracture may be treated with or without surgery, depending on the fracture pattern and associated injuries (i.e., nerve injury or open fracture). A temporary splint extending from the shoulder to the forearm and holding the elbow bent at 90 degrees can be used for initial management of the fracture.

Code also note - A "code also" note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction.
NOS "Not otherwise specified" - This abbreviation is the equivalent of unspecified.
A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. If the broken bone punctures the skin , it is called an open or compound fracture. Fractures commonly happen because of car accidents, falls or sports injuries. Other causes are low bone density and osteoporosis, which cause weakening of the bones. Overuse can cause stress fractures, which are very small cracks in the bone.
