ValidICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

Valid for claims with a date of service in the current code year.

Valid FY2016 onwards.

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2007 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.

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)

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.
