About M97.22XD
M97.22XD is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Periprosthetic fracture around internal prosthetic left ankle joint, subsequent encounter. It belongs to category M97 (Periprosthetic fracture around internal prosthetic joint), block M97 (Periprosthetic fracture around internal prosthetic joint) and chapter 13 (diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
The 7th character "D" means subsequent encounter: use it for encounters after active treatment, while the patient is healing or recovering.
Code first: , if known, the specific type and cause of fracture, such as traumatic or pathological.
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 559 (Aftercare, Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue with MCC, relative weight 1.8088), DRG 560 (Aftercare, Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue with CC, relative weight 1.1238) and DRG 561 (Aftercare, Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.8258), in MDC 08 (Diseases and Disorders of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
It is exempt from present-on-admission (POA) reporting, so no POA indicator is required.
It was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.
Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as V54.26 (aftercare for healing pathologic fracture of lower leg).
