S52.511B
ICD-10-CMDisplaced fracture of right radial styloid process, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II
This code signifies a break in the styloid process of the right radius, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal anatomical alignment. It specifically indicates that the fracture has broken through the skin, but the wound is relatively clean and small (Type I) or moderate in size with some soft tissue damage (Type II).
Apply this code for initial treatment of a patient presenting with an open fracture of the right radial styloid process that is visibly displaced. This is appropriate for the first encounter where definitive treatment, such as reduction and fixation, is planned or initiated.
