What is 835.00?

835.00 is a diagnostic code used in the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) system. Specifically, it refers to a fracture of the upper end of the humerus, which is the bone of the upper arm. This type of fracture can occur due to various reasons such as a fall, direct trauma to the arm, or a sports injury. Common symptoms of a humerus fracture include pain, swelling, and difficulty in moving the arm. Treatment typically involves immobilization of the arm with a cast or brace and physical therapy to regain strength and range of motion. In some cases, surgery may be required to realign the bone fragments.
