S52.572 — Other intraarticular fracture of lower end of left radius
Is S52.572 billable?
No — S52.572 is a non-billable header code. S52.572 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 16 billable codes beneath S52.572.

How is S52.572 listed in the Alphabetic Index?
The Alphabetic Index lists these routes under S52.57, the nearest indexed parent of S52.572. Use them to find the family, then select the specific code.
- Fracture, traumatic › radius › lower end › intraarticular NEC (abduction) (adduction) (separation)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S52
The conditions below can never be reported together with S52.572 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 S52.572 to fully describe the condition. S52.572 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 S52.572, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S52.572 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S50-S59
The conditions below are not part of S52.572, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S52.572 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S52
The conditions below are not part of S52.572, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S52.572 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S52.5
The conditions below are not part of S52.572, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S52.572 and the excluded code may both be reported.

How long has S52.572 existed?
S52.572 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
