In-house Lab Tests – document tests (results or pending)

Pediatric/Adolescent Assessment Tools (Ages & Stages, etc) with results and rationale
For adolescents (HEADSSSVG Assessment)

Diagnosis
· 1. Closed fracture of distal end of right radius – S69.91XA
· Pertinent positives – reports recent injury to left arm, limited ROM to right wrist, pain with ROM, fracture indicated on x-ray

· Pertinent negatives – no obvious deformity, no swelling

· Rationale – Limited ROM following injury or trauma to the arm suggest possible fracture.

2. Other specified sprain of right wrist, initial encounter – S63.591A

· Pertinent positives – reports recent injury to left arm, limited ROM to right wrist, pain with ROM

· Pertinent negatives – no obvious deformity, no swelling

· Rationale – Injury to the arm may result in a sprain, dislocation or fracture wrist. Absence of obvious deformity can is favorable of a sprain or dislocation; however, impaired ROM and confirmation of fracture via x-ray rules out diagnosis of sprain.

3. Dislocation of right wrist – M24.331

· Pertinent positives – reports recent injury to left arm, limited ROM to right wrist, pain with ROM

· Pertinent negatives – no obvious deformity, no swelling

· Rationale – Injury to the arm may result in a sprain, dislocation or fracture wrist. Absence of obvious deformity can is favorable of a sprain or dislocation; however, impaired ROM and confirmation of fracture via x-ray rules out diagnosis of dislocation.
