ICD-10 Clinic Advanced - Book 5: The Orthopaedic and Wound Record

Fractures and the 7th character that carries the episode, the difference between an initial encounter, a healing phase and a sequela, pathological fractures that are not accidents, joint replacements and the things that go wrong with them, bone infection, then pressure ulcers by site and stage and the ulcers that are not pressure ulcers at all.

The ten chapters:

1. The 7th character

2. Which encounter is this

3. Sequelae

4. Pathological fractures

5. External cause codes

6. Joint replacements and what fails

7. Bone infection

8. Pressure ulcers

9. The ulcers that are not pressure ulcers

10. Infected wounds and the order of codes

Twenty-five A4 pages in full colour. Every chapter closes with its rule stated in a single line, so you can revise the whole book from the rules alone. Then a two-page Coding Lab working full records step by step, a page of the eight pitfalls that cost the most marks, fifteen practice questions with a worked answer for every one, and a glossary.

Written in short sentences and plain English, for readers whose first language is not English and clearer for everyone else because of it.

Every ICD-10-CM code in this book was verified against the official 2026 code set before the file was made. Instant PDF download. By M.R. Sterling.
