Submit one of these 7 more specific codes instead:

  • S92.002A Unspecified fracture of left calcaneus, initial encounter for closed fracture
  • S92.002B Unspecified fracture of left calcaneus, initial encounter for open fracture
  • S92.002D Unspecified fracture of left calcaneus, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
  • S92.002G Unspecified fracture of left calcaneus, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
  • S92.002K Unspecified fracture of left calcaneus, subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion
  • S92.002P Unspecified fracture of left calcaneus, subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion
  • S92.002S Unspecified fracture of left calcaneus, sequela

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