About coding lumbosacral spine fracture

The ICD-10-CM code for lumbosacral spine fracture is S32.9 (Fracture of unspecified parts of lumbosacral spine and pelvis).

Within S32, choose S32.9 (unspecified parts of lumbosacral spine and pelvis) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: lumbar vertebra (S32.0), sacrum (S32.1), coccyx (S32.2), ilium (S32.3), acetabulum (S32.4), pubis (S32.5), ischium (S32.6) and other parts of pelvis (S32.8).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter for closed fracture, B for initial encounter for open fracture, D for subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing, G for subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing, K for subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

Code first: any associated spinal cord and spinal nerve injury (S34.-).
