Non-billable header with 10 child codes.

Applies from S62 Fracture at wrist and hand level

Excludes1 (never code together)

• traumatic amputation of wrist and hand (S68.-)

Excludes2 (not included here)

• fracture of distal parts of ulna and radius (S52.-)

7th character note

• The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category S62

Notes

• A fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced
• A fracture not indicated as open 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
• P — subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion
• S — sequela

Applies from S62.6 Fracture of other and unspecified finger(s)

Excludes2 (not included here)

• fracture of thumb (S62.5-)
