S82.112

Displaced fracture of left tibial spine

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 16 more specific codes instead:

  • S82.112A Displaced fracture of left tibial spine, initial encounter for closed fracture
  • S82.112B Displaced fracture of left tibial spine, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II
  • S82.112C Displaced fracture of left tibial spine, initial encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC
  • S82.112D Displaced fracture of left tibial spine, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with routine healing
  • S82.112E Displaced fracture of left tibial spine, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with routine healing
  • S82.112F Displaced fracture of left tibial spine, subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with routine healing
  • S82.112G Displaced fracture of left tibial spine, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with delayed healing
  • S82.112H Displaced fracture of left tibial spine, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with delayed healing
  • S82.112J Displaced fracture of left tibial spine, subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with delayed healing
  • S82.112K Displaced fracture of left tibial spine, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with nonunion
  • S82.112M Displaced fracture of left tibial spine, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with nonunion
  • S82.112N Displaced fracture of left tibial spine, subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with nonunion
  • S82.112P Displaced fracture of left tibial spine, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with malunion
  • S82.112Q Displaced fracture of left tibial spine, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with malunion
  • S82.112R Displaced fracture of left tibial spine, subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with malunion
  • S82.112S Displaced fracture of left tibial spine, sequela

This code requires a seventh character. See the rule below.

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2014 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

Official coding rules

Published by CDC for FY2027. A rule attached to a category binds every code beneath it, so the rules inherited from this code's ancestors are shown with the code they come from.

Inherited from S82 Fracture of lower leg, including ankle

Seventh character required

  • The appropriate 7th character is to be added to all codes from category S82

Seventh character values

  • initial encounter for open fracture NOS

Excludes1 - never coded here

  • traumatic amputation of lower leg (S88.-)

Excludes2 - not included here

  • fracture of foot, except ankle (S92.-)
  • periprosthetic fracture around internal prosthetic ankle joint (M97.2)
  • periprosthetic fracture around internal prosthetic implant of knee joint (M97.1-)

Includes

  • fracture of malleolus

Note

  • A fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced
  • A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed
  • The open fracture designations are based on the Gustilo open fracture classification

Inherited from the S80-S89 section Injuries to the knee and lower leg (S80-S89)

Excludes2 - not included here

  • burns and corrosions (T20-T32)
  • frostbite (T33-T34)
  • injuries of ankle and foot, except fracture of ankle and malleolus (S90-S99)
  • insect bite or sting, venomous (T63.4)

How CDC's index refers to this code

Wording from the official alphabetic index. Much of it appears nowhere in the code description, which is why a search for the everyday phrase so often finds nothing.
