Can fracture care codes be used with stress fractures?
 
I agree with CodingKing. I'd also just like to add:

Per the CPT 2018 Professional Book (pg 108):

The type of fracture (eg, open, compound, closed) does not have any coding correlation with the type of treatment (eg, closed, open, or percutaneous) provided.
The codes for treatment of fractures and joint injuries (dislocations) are categorized by the type of manipulation (reduction) and stabilization (fixation or immobilization). These codes can apply to either open (compound) or closed fractures or joint injuries.
