Built from S32.452 with 7th character K (subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion).

Applies from S32 Fracture of lumbar spine and pelvis

Includes

• fracture of lumbosacral neural arch
• fracture of lumbosacral spinous process
• fracture of lumbosacral transverse process
• fracture of lumbosacral vertebra
• fracture of lumbosacral vertebral arch

Excludes1 (never code together)

• transection of abdomen (S38.3)

Notes

• A fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced
• A fracture not indicated as opened or closed should be coded to closed

7th character required

• A — initial encounter for closed fracture
• B — initial encounter for open fracture
• D — subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
• G — subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
• K — subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion
• S — sequela
