How is S62.21 listed in the Alphabetic Index?

These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to S62.21. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.

  • Bennett's fracture (displaced)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S62

The conditions below can never be reported together with S62.21 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 wrist and hand (S68.-)

Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19

Report an additional code alongside S62.21 to fully describe the condition. S62.21 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 S62.21, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S62.21 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • birth trauma (P10-P15)
  • obstetric trauma (O70-O71)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S60-S69

The conditions below are not part of S62.21, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S62.21 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • burns and corrosions (T20-T32)
  • frostbite (T33-T34)
