S52.181D is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes in FY2027.
Inclusion terms
Includes (from S52)
- Note: 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
- Note: 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.
- Note: A fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced
- Note: A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed
- Note: The open fracture designations are based on the Gustilo open fracture classification
