ICD 10 Common Hand Surgery Diagnosis Codes PDF

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 = S52.5 32C
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
SIXTH CHARACTER 1=right, 2=left, 9=unspecified; 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
