1 Common Hand Surgery Diagnosis Codes ICD-10 This is a list of common codes for diagnoses about the hand and wrist. This is not an exhaustive list of all upper extremity codes. FORMAT of ICD-10: ICD-10 codes have 3-7 digits (varies per code/diagnosis) Format is XXX.XXXX First is letter, second is number, remainder are letter or number; not case-sensitive Some codes require a seventh character but not a fifth or sixth, so a placeholder X is used (example: T84.9xxA) FORMAT OF THIS LIST: For each ICD-10 code, use the list immediately below the code to complete the code ( fill in the blanks ). One must carry each code to the last character listed, unless otherwise stated. The leftmost column lists the similar ICD-9 Code. This is not always a direct translation so read the description and use the correct code. Abbreviations for Fingers: R=right, L=left; 1=thumb, 2=index, 3=long/middle, 4=ring, 5=small/little. Example: Initial encounter for a grade 3 open left Colles fracture = S52.532C S52.5 Fracture of lower end of radius FIFTH CHARACTER 0=unspecified, 1=radial styloid, 2=torus, 3=Colles, 4=Smith s, 5=Other Extraarticular, 6=Barton s, 7=Other Intraarticular, 9=Other Fracture ; FOR RADIAL STYLOID: 1=displaced right, 2=displaced left, 3=displaced unspecified, 4=nondisplaced right, 5=nondisplaced left, 6=nondisplaced unspecified SEVENTH CHARACTER Initial fracture encounter (A=closed, B=open grade 1 or 2, C= open grade 3 ); Subsequent encounters: Routine Healing (D=closed, E=open 1 or 2, F=open 3), Delayed Healing (G=closed, H=open 1 or 2, J=open 3), Nonunion (K=closed, M=open 1 or 2, N=open 3), Malunion (P=closed, Q=open 1 or 2, R=open 3); S=Sequela for torus: Initial fracture encounter (A=closed); Subsequent encounters: D=Routine Healing, G=Delayed Healing, K=Nonunion, P=Malunion; S=Sequela For some fractures, the seventh character list is lengthy as seen here; for other fractures the list is more concise; use the list shown with each code. A - initial encounter for closed fracture B - initial encounter for open fracture type I or II C - initial encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC D - subsequent encounter for closed fracture with routine healing E - subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with routine healing F - subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with routine healing G - subsequent encounter for closed fracture with delayed healing H - subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with delayed healing J - subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with delayed healing K - subsequent encounter for closed fracture with nonunion M - subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with nonunion N - subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with nonunion P - subsequent encounter for closed fracture with malunion Q - subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with malunion R - subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with malunion S - sequela 1 Common Hand Surgery Diagnosis Codes ICD-10
