Question # 10 of the coding quiz asks "Which ICD-10 code is reported for the sequela encounter for a 4-part fracture of the surgical neck of the left humerus? Correct answer is D. S42.432S the rationale being the 7th character place holder S is for sequela. The code description from ICD-10 for S42.432S reads "Displaced fracture (avulsion) of lateral epicondyle of left humerus. The code description for S42.242S, which seems to describe the condition exactly reads "4-part fracture of surgical neck of left humerus" was not an option. Can you please explain why?
 
Error?

My guess is that the quiz creator transposed the code. I'm not familiar with the quiz you are referencing or who created it, but I would direct your question to them.
