Wiki Supracondylar distal humerus fracture WITH intercondylar extension

[DButcher]

Does anyone know what ICD 10 code i would use for Supracondylar distal humerus fracture WITH intercondylar extension? I see codes for Without intercondylar extension but none for with.


Thank you in advance for any input.

I just keep coming up with S42.40.... I can't find anything better

Wouldn't it make better sense to put it under S42.49_ for OTHER specified Fracture.
S42.40 is UNspecified fracture.. we know it is a supracondylar with intercondylar extension fracture....

Yes I would agree that S42.49... is better, didn't see that before!

Thank you both so much for your time and input. I agree with S42.49
