Fracture of distal phalanx of lesser toe(s)
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 6 more specific codes instead:
- S92.531 Displaced fracture of distal phalanx of right lesser toe(s) (also a header)
- S92.532 Displaced fracture of distal phalanx of left lesser toe(s) (also a header)
- S92.533 Displaced fracture of distal phalanx of unspecified lesser toe(s) (also a header)
- S92.534 Nondisplaced fracture of distal phalanx of right lesser toe(s) (also a header)
- S92.535 Nondisplaced fracture of distal phalanx of left lesser toe(s) (also a header)
- S92.536 Nondisplaced fracture of distal phalanx of unspecified lesser toe(s) (also a header)
This code requires a seventh character. See the rule below.
What has happened to this code
Every change the publisher made, from 2012 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.
- FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Fracture of distal phalanx of 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)
- fracture of ankle and malleolus (S82.-)
- frostbite (T33-T34)
- 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 > toe > lesser > distal phalanx
- Fracture, traumatic > toe > lesser > distal phalanx > nondisplaced
