ICD-10 code for peri-prosthetic fracture.

butlerbar

How do you code with ICD-10 code for a peri-prosthetic fracture due to an injury... do you use the S codes for traumatic with a secondary code for replacement or do you use the M97. code for peri-prosthetic fracture? 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 Thank you,

I have always used the M97. codes along with a Z96.6- code
