Official Coding Guidelines

Code traumatic fractures individually by site per listed categories

c. Coding of Traumatic Fractures The principles of multiple coding of injuries should be followed in coding fractures. Fractures of specified sites are coded individually by site in accordance with both the provisions within categories S02, S12, S22, S32, S42, S49, S52, S59, S62, S72, S79, S82, S89, S92 and the level of detail furnished by medical record content.

— ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting, FY2026, Section I.C.19.c
