ICD-10-CM Code S52.539A
Colles' fracture of unspecified radius, initial encounter for closed fracture

BILLABLE
Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

S52.539A is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of colles' fracture of unspecified radius, initial encounter for closed fracture. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


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.
