A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. If the broken bone punctures the skin , it is called an open or compound fracture.

Multiple fracture categories 819 and 828 classify bilateral fractures of both upper limbs ( 819) and both lower limbs ( 828 ), but without any detail at the fourth-digit level other than open and closed type of fractures.

Categories 819 and 828 serve a purpose when only one code can be used for primary tabulation of data, when there is a need for multiple fracture data that has an impact on patient function status during an episode of care, and when there is insufficient detail available to provide specific site involvement.
