Introduction. A coccyx fracture is a break in the tailbone. This is the lowest part of the spine. A fractured coccyx can be a very painful acute or chronic ordeal and may not resolve for a long duration. Furthermore, due to the nature of the coccyx structure, many tailbone fractures are not immediately diagnosed.
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.
Sacrococcygeal disorders, not elsewhere classified The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M53. 3 became effective on October 1, 2021.

The coccyx is a triangular arrangement of bone that makes up the very bottom portion of the spine below the sacrum. It represents a vestigial tail, hence the common term tailbone.
When the visit is for the purpose of deciding what treatment is required to repair the fracture, it is an initial encounter. Likewise, when the visit results in a changed active plan of care, it is an initial encounter.
Per ICD-10 guidelines, you would again report S52. 222A for an initial encounter.
When a fracture happens, it's classified as either open or closed: Open fracture (also called compound fracture): The bone pokes through the skin and can be seen, or a deep wound exposes the bone through the skin. Closed fracture (also called simple fracture). The bone is broken, but the skin is intact.
The small bone at the bottom of the spine. It is made up of 3-5 fused bones. Also called coccyx.
The coccyx is a triangular bone that consists of 3 to 5 fused segments, the largest of which articulates with the lowest sacral segment. In addition, the first coccygeal segment contains rudimentary articular processes called the coccygeal cornua that articulate with the sacral cornua.
Although there isn't a specific ICD-10-CM code for pain in the buttock, you can use M79. 1 Myalgia.
If you have a fracture, healing can take between 8 to 12 weeks. If your tailbone injury is a bruise, healing takes about 4 weeks.
A broken or bruised coccyx will usually heal on its own. Physical therapy, exercises, and a special cushion can all help ease the pain and speed recovery. See your doctor if pain is severe, or if you have trouble with bowel movements or urination. Surgery is needed in fewer than 10 percent of cases.
The symptoms of a broken tailbone include:an almost constant dull pain in the very low back, just above the buttocks.pain that worsens when sitting and when standing up from a sitting position.swelling around the tailbone.pain that intensifies during a bowel movement.pain that intensifies during sexual intercourse.More items...•
Still, most tailbone fractures are not medical emergencies. Go to your healthcare provider for treatment. Seek emergency care if you have extreme pain, tingling, or weakness in one or both legs.
Abdominal trauma is an injury to the abdomen. It may be blunt or penetrating and may involve damage to the abdominal organs. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, rigidity, and bruising of the external abdomen. Abdominal trauma presents a risk of severe blood loss and infection.
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code S32.2XXA and a single ICD9 code, 805.6 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
