Wrist Sprain ICD-10-CM Codes

Yes, but we don’t recommend using those because they are likely to be invalid. Please use the ones we mentioned above.

Wrist sprains are usually caused by a fall, twisting motion, or blunt force trauma. Common causes include slips and fall on an outstretched arm, contact sports, and lifting heavy objects with the arm extended. Overusing a joint can also lead to wrist sprains, such as playing sports involving repetitive hand and wrist motion or typing without proper ergonomics.

Resting, using cold compress/ice packs, and using a wrist brace. Surgery becomes an option if the sprain is severe, but these cases are rare.
