Hello fellow Coders,
I'm hoping someone can help me out with this statement: L5 inferior facet and pars was grossly unstable with an apparent Pars Fracture.
How would you code a Pars Fracture?
Thanks!

I would just code this 805.45. fx L5. Pars just means a particular portion of a larger area.

Hi, I would code this as 805.4--no fifth digit because the 5th digits are for codes 805.0-805.1 only.
Thanks,
Christina
