Eight-year-old Geri climbed the oak tree in her back yard to rescue her cat, who had climbed the tree but could not get back down. Unfortunately, Geri slipped and fell out of the tree and hurt her arm. The lower arm is bent at an odd angle and the bone is visible. The physician diagnoses an open fracture and orders X-rays of the lower arm. Where will you locate the ICD-10 code for this?

C. H60-H95
D. M00-M99

Fractures are coded differently in ICD-9 and ICD-10. The ICD-10 code for the arm fracture will be found in Chapter 13, "Diseases of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue," which contains the code range M00-M99.
