S42.223B
ICD-10-CM2-part displaced fracture of surgical neck of unspecified humerus, initial encounter for open fracture
This code signifies a break in the upper part of the humerus, specifically at the surgical neck, which is displaced into two distinct fragments. The fracture has broken through the skin, exposing the bone to the outside environment.
Apply this code for the initial treatment of an open, two-part displaced fracture of the surgical neck of the humerus when the laterality (left or right) is not documented. This is appropriate for the first encounter where the patient receives active treatment for the injury.
