Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.
This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.
Submit one of these 7 more specific codes instead:
- S92.525A Nondisplaced fracture of middle phalanx of left lesser toe(s), initial encounter for closed fracture
- S92.525B Nondisplaced fracture of middle phalanx of left lesser toe(s), initial encounter for open fracture
- S92.525D Nondisplaced fracture of middle phalanx of left lesser toe(s), subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
- S92.525G Nondisplaced fracture of middle phalanx of left lesser toe(s), subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
- S92.525K Nondisplaced fracture of middle phalanx of left lesser toe(s), subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion
- S92.525P Nondisplaced fracture of middle phalanx of left lesser toe(s), subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion
- S92.525S Nondisplaced fracture of middle phalanx of left lesser toe(s), 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.
- FY2014 Added to the draft code set draft Nondisplaced fracture of medial phalanx of left lesser toe(s)

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 S92 Fracture of foot and toe, except ankle
Seventh character required
- The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category S92
Excludes2 - not included here
- fracture of ankle (S82.-)
- fracture of malleolus (S82.-)
- traumatic amputation of ankle and foot (S98.-)
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
Inherited from the S90-S99 section Injuries to the ankle and foot (S90-S99)
Excludes2 - not included here
- burns and corrosions (T20-T32)

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 > toe > lesser > middle phalanx
- Fracture, traumatic > toe > lesser > middle phalanx > nondisplaced
