ICD-10 codes for fracture
Fracture coding is specificity-heavy: bone, side, location, open versus closed, displacement, and encounter character all matter. The codes below are examples, not a substitute for site-specific lookup.
Notat writes the note — and suggests these codes
The same FactsContext™ engine that extracts codes here turns the full consultation into a structured clinical note, with each code tied to the sentence that supports it. You review and sign every note.
Try AI-assisted extraction with visible medical context
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.

How to use this tool
1
Paste or dictate a de-identified clinical note — a few sentences is enough.
2
Press Get codes. The coding system is fixed on this page.
3
Review each suggested code and its evidence, then copy the codes you agree with.

Evidence stays attached for review.
Paste a clinical note or load an example, then press Get codes. Suggestions appear here with the supporting evidence.
AI suggestions must be reviewed by a clinician before use. Do not paste patient-identifying information into this free tool.

Fracture ICD-10 codes
Start with the primary code, then move to a more specific related code when the documentation supports it.
| Code | Description | System |
|---|---|---|
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 |
How to choose the right code
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.
Documentation example
“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.”
Suggested:
Not direct transcript guessing
FactsContext extracts clinical facts first: diagnoses, symptoms, negatives, findings, test results, medications, and plan decisions.
Raw facts stay usable
The clinician can read and reuse the extracted medical context directly, independent of the generated note.
Built for review
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.
