Wiki Old fracture.

[solocoder]

Can someone tell me please, what DX code I can use for xray finding of "old, healed fracture". There is no further information about the nature/cause of the fracture. I think it is a pertinent finding because the patient is having rib pain.

Thanks.

healed conditions should not be coded since there is no active treatment going, you can use rib pain code along with hx of fracture code
