Fracture ICD-10 codes
Start with the primary code, then move to a more specific related code when the documentation supports it.
S52.90XA | Unspecified fracture of unspecified forearm, initial encounter for closed fracture | ICD-10-CM |
S62.609A | Unspecified fracture of unspecified finger, initial encounter for closed fracture | ICD-10-CM |
S82.90XA | Unspecified fracture of unspecified lower leg, initial encounter for closed fracture | ICD-10-CM |
S72.90XA | Unspecified fracture of unspecified femur, initial encounter for closed fracture | ICD-10-CM |
M80.00XA | Age-related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, unspecified site, initial encounter | ICD-10-CM |
Use unspecified examples only when the record lacks required detail. Strong fracture documentation includes exact bone and site, laterality, open or closed status, displacement, mechanism, and whether the encounter is initial, subsequent, or sequela.
“Fall onto outstretched right hand. X-ray shows closed nondisplaced distal radius fracture, right side. Neurovascular status intact. Splinted in clinic and referred to fracture clinic for follow-up.”
Paste a note or record audio. Notat’s FactsContext™ engine extracts the raw clinical facts first, then suggests codes from that context so you can inspect the evidence before using anything.

I10ICD-10-CM
Essential (primary) hypertension
Evidencia: “Chief Complaint Elevated and fluctuating blood pressure readings.”
E78.5ICD-10-CM
Hyperlipidemia, unspecified
Evidencia: “2. Hyperlipidemia. Clinically stable on atorvastatin.”
M19.90ICD-10-CM
Unspecified osteoarthritis, unspecified site
Evidencia: “3. Osteoarthritis. Symptoms stable. Continue conservative management with acetaminophen as needed.”
FactsContext extracts clinical facts first: diagnoses, symptoms, negatives, findings, test results, medications, and plan decisions.
The clinician can read and reuse the extracted medical context directly, independent of the generated note.
AI suggestions are not a substitute for clinician judgment, payer rules, local coding policy, or the official code set.
FAQ
Why are fracture codes so long?
ICD-10-CM fracture codes encode site, laterality, displacement, open or closed status, and encounter character, so the final character and specificity matter.
What does the A at the end mean?
For many injury codes, A indicates an initial encounter for active treatment. Subsequent care and sequela use different seventh characters.
Can AI extract fracture specificity?
Notat extracts bone, side, imaging findings, open or closed status, displacement, and treatment plan as clinical facts so the suggested code can be checked against the note.
