Wiki Right Code?

Is 805.2 the correct code for T9 thoraic compression fracture? Please help as I am only an apprentice?!

805.2 is correct as long as there is no mention of spinal cord injury and as long as it was a traumatic fracture. If it was a pathologic fracture, look at 733.13.

Hope this helps!
