I had a question in the workbook I have been studying from which is: subsequent encounter for fracture, right clavicle, with delayed healing. The answer gave a traumatic fracture and I am not sure how to know that it’s traumatic instead of no traumatic or pathological.

[@tropinsmedicalcodingmadeea7551]

That’s an interesting question. I don’t see any guideline that says an unspecified fracture is coded as traumatic. Is there any indication of an injury or other outside force involved?

[@PaigeHeikkila]

@@tropinsmedicalcodingmadeea7551 no that was all the question said, it was in the workbook you recommended on one of your videos. I bought it to help me study for my test. It’s chapter 7 question 55, workbook for bucks 2023 step by step medical coding. Thank you for your help

"ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S52.514A nondisplaced fracture of right radial styloid process, initial encounter for closed fracture healed non displaced radial styloid fracture left wrist." What does this mean ??? I was in a car accident 3 months ago and I went to a orthopedics specialist who diagnosed me and wrote this exact info. I wanted to know what does it mean. Thank you.

[@tropinsmedicalcodingmadeea7551]

Nondisplaced means that the bone is fractured but still in its original place. A closed fracture means the bone isn't sticking through the skin. The radial styloid process is an attachment area (a bump) for muscle or ligament attachments on the radius bone (forearm). The S indicates the fracture was caused by an injury, not a problem in the bone itself (such as cancer or osteoporosis). the A indicates that this was the first treatment for the fracture (the first time that this physician treated you.)

Hello ...I'm struggling to find a icd 10 code for subcapital neck femoral fracture. Can anyone assist please?

[@tropinsmedicalcodingmadeea7551]

Sorry I did not respond sooner. Assuming this is a traumatic fracture, see the index Fracture, traumatic, femur, upper end, subcapital. This refers you to S72.01-.
