Includes, Excludes and Coding Notes

Excludes 1 — Not Coded HereFrom S52

Mutually exclusive: these conditions are never reported together with this code.

Not part of this code; report both codes when the patient has both conditions.

  • fracture at wrist and hand level (S62.-)
  • periprosthetic fracture around internal prosthetic elbow joint (M97.4)
NotesFrom S52

Instructional notes from the ICD-10-CM tabular list.

  • 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
Excludes 2 — Not Included HereFrom S50-S59 Injuries to the elbow and forearm (S50-S59)

Not part of this code; report both codes when the patient has both conditions.

  • burns and corrosions (T20-T32)
  • frostbite (T33-T34)
  • injuries of wrist and hand (S60-S69)
  • insect bite or sting, venomous (T63.4)
Excludes 2 — Not Included HereFrom Chapter S00-T88

Instructional notes from the ICD-10-CM tabular list.

  • Use secondary code(s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code
  • The chapter uses the S-section for coding different types of injuries related to single body regions and the T-section to cover injuries to unspecified body regions as well as poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes.
