Definition/Description. T9-T10 chance fracture from MVA. Most thoracic spine fractures occur in the lower thoracic spine, with 60% to 70% of thoraco-lumbar fractures occurring in the T11 to L2 region, which is bio-mechanically weak for stress. The majority of these fractures occur without spinal cord injury.

What is a transverse process fracture?
A transverse process fracture is a break in 1 or more transverse process. These are wing-like bones on the right and left side of each vertebra in the spine.
What is a transverse fracture?
A transverse fracture is when the fracture line is perpendicular to the shaft (long part) of the bone. An oblique fracture is when the break is on an angle through the bone. A pathologic fracture is caused by a disease that weakens the bone.

This fracture is a break or crack in one of the wing-like sides at the back of a vertebra. Muscles and ligaments are attached to this part of the vertebra. The fracture can be caused by trauma or by a severe muscle contraction. A high amount of force is needed to cause a transverse process fracture.
Do you code fracture aftercare ICD10?
The aftercare Z codes should not be used for aftercare for injuries or poisonings. The appropriate seventh characters are provided to identify this subsequent care. For aftercare of an injury, coders should assign the acute injury code with the appropriate seventh character “D” (or expanded choices for fractures) for subsequent encounter.
