The ICD code S525 is used to code Smith's fracture

A Smith's fracture, also sometimes known as a reverse Colles' fracture or Goyrand-Smith's, is a fracture of the distal radius. It is caused by a direct blow to the dorsal forearm or falling onto flexed wrists, as opposed to a Colles' fracture which occurs as a result of falling onto wrists in extension. Smith's fractures are less common than Colles' fractures.

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

Aftercare for healing traumatic fracture of lower arm (approximate match)

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code S52.509D and a single ICD9 code, V54.12 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
