Hoping to get some opinions on how chronic fractures or old fractures should be coded. These are noted on imaging reports without the opportunity to query. The index has note to see pathological fractures for chronic fracture, but not all bones are listed under pathological fracture, i.e. chronic sternum fracture. I appreciate that these could be considered incidental findings, but knowing how to code these regardless is what I'm looking for.

Thanks,
Laura
