+'''Includes'''
+*skull base dehiscence
+*Use this code for bone discontinuity problems that are not coded anywhere else.
+*SPECIFICALLY:  Malunion or Nonunion of a bone -- these refer to problems with a bone failing to repair itself some time '''''after''''' a fracture of any cause (traumatic or nontraumatic).
+*Thus, the fracture is no longer current, but the bone never knitted, or knitted poorly/incorrectly.
+*Note that this is a one-size-fit-all code in that it does not include the specific bone that failed to knit properly.
+*Includes: Osteophytes
+* see [[Coding fractures in ICD10]] for more info.
 == Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition ==
