How is S52.283 listed in the Alphabetic Index?
The Alphabetic Index lists these routes under S52.28, the nearest indexed parent of S52.283. Use them to find the family, then select the specific code.
- Fracture, traumatic › ulna › bent bone (abduction) (adduction) (separation)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S52
The conditions below can never be reported together with S52.283 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.-)
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S52.283 to fully describe the condition. S52.283 is sequenced first.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19
The conditions below are not part of S52.283, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S52.283 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S50-S59
The conditions below are not part of S52.283, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S52.283 and the excluded code may both be reported.
