3 ) – secondary to the elastic properties of the child’s thick periosteum. Usage guide for ICD-10-CM Diagnosis code S82.822G - Torus fracture of lower end of left fibula, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing in. S82.425A is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Nondisplaced transverse fracture of shaft of left fibula, initial encounter for closed fracture. A break occurs on the convex side of the bone whilst the opposite cortex remains intact ( Fig. Used to describe both greenstick and torus fractures.Ī greenstick fracture results from an angulation force. The term “buckle” fracture is an alternative term for a torus fracture but is sometimes, 2 As the bulge is only on one side of the bone. 1 It is a common occurrence following a fall, as the wrist absorbs most of the impact and compresses the bony cortex on one side and remains intact on the other, creating a bulging effect. Bone growth involves both modeling and remodeling: this makes for a considerable capacity to reshape fracture deformities. A Torus fracture, also known as a buckle fracture is the most common fracture in children.Cellular activity is also increased in the children – hence children’s fractures heal much more rapidly than those of adults.The periosteal sleeve is thicker than in adult bone and may explain why fracture displacement is more controlled.Torus/buckling fracture - cortex is buckled and overlapped, caused by impaction. Children’s bones are less brittle and more liable to plastic deformation – hence torus and greenstick fractures only occur in children. Transverse fracture - fracture halfway across the bone.The safe interpretation of the child’s post trauma radiograph necessitates the understanding of the different mechanics of the immature skeleton.įractures in the growing bones of children are subject to influences that do not apply to adult bone : It is found in the 2023 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from. Adjunct ultrasonographic assessment is becoming more frequent. S82.829A is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Torus fracture of lower end of unspecified fibula, initial encounter for closed fracture. Plain imaging is the initial modality of choice for the workup of trauma in children in most Paediatric and General Accident and Emergency Departments.
