Additional Info

Stress fractures, which are frequently hairline fractures, are due to repetitive stress rather than a single big trauma. As a result, athletes tend to get them.
Note that this is a "one size fits all" code, in that stress fractures in any bone get this code. We did not create different codes for different bones.

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.
