Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.
This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.
Submit one of these 16 more specific codes instead:
- S52.332A Displaced oblique fracture of shaft of left radius, initial encounter for closed fracture
- S52.332B Displaced oblique fracture of shaft of left radius, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II
- S52.332C Displaced oblique fracture of shaft of left radius, initial encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC
- S52.332D Displaced oblique fracture of shaft of left radius, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with routine healing
- S52.332E Displaced oblique fracture of shaft of left radius, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with routine healing
- S52.332F Displaced oblique fracture of shaft of left radius, subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with routine healing

What has happened to this code
Every change the publisher made, from 2014 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
- FY2014 Added to the draft code set draft Displaced oblique fracture of shaft of left radius
Official coding rules
Published by CDC for FY2027. A rule attached to a category binds every code beneath it, so the rules inherited from this code's ancestors are shown with the code they come from.
Inherited from S52 Fracture of forearm
Seventh character required
- The appropriate 7th character is to be added to all codes from category S52
Seventh character values
- initial encounter for open fracture NOS
Excludes1 - never coded here
- traumatic amputation of forearm (S58.-)
Excludes2 - not included here
- fracture at wrist and hand level (S62.-)
- periprosthetic fracture around internal prosthetic elbow joint (M97.4)
Note
- A fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced
- A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed
- The open fracture designations are based on the Gustilo open fracture classification
Inherited from the S50-S59 section Injuries to the elbow and forearm (S50-S59)
Excludes2 - not included here
- burns and corrosions (T20-T32)
- frostbite (T33-T34)
- injuries of wrist and hand (S60-S69)
- insect bite or sting, venomous (T63.4)
How CDC's index refers to this code
Wording from the official alphabetic index. Much of it appears nowhere in the code description, which is why a search for the everyday phrase so often finds nothing.
- Fracture, traumatic > radius > shaft > oblique
- Fracture, traumatic > radius > shaft > oblique > nondisplaced
