S02.2 for Fracture, Traumatic/Nasal (Bone(s)), ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index. Both the open fracture code and the dislocation code are not reported. Only the fracture code is provided if a fracture and a dislocation happen at the same place. Search for "dislocation/with fracture" in the alphabetical index to be sent to a doctor. A closed fracture is a fracture with displacement. To report the conditions leading up to the injury, external cause codes are utilized.
