Additional Info
- 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- Thus, the fracture is no longer current, but the bone never knitted, or knitted poorly/incorrectly.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.
Fractures
For an comprehensive overview, and additional information on coding fractures in ICD10, see Coding fractures in ICD10.
Fractures if and only if due to trauma or injury should be coded together with its Category:Mechanism.
