How is S52.28 listed in the Alphabetic Index?

These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to S52.28. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.

  • Fracture, traumatic › ulna › bent bone

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S52

The conditions below can never be reported together with S52.28 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • traumatic amputation of forearm (S58.-)

  • code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
