- S82.852B Displaced trimalleolar fracture of left lower leg, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II
- S82.852C Displaced trimalleolar fracture of left lower leg, initial encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC
- S82.852D Displaced trimalleolar fracture of left lower leg, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with routine healing

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.
- FY2014 Added to the draft code set draft Displaced trimalleolar fracture of left lower leg
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.
- Fracture, traumatic > trimalleolar
- Fracture, traumatic > ankle > trimalleolar
- Fracture, traumatic > ankle > trimalleolar > nondisplaced
