M97.8Periprosthetic fracture around other internal prosthetic joint

M97.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Periprosthetic fracture around other internal prosthetic joint. 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 a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within M97, choose M97.8 (other internal prosthetic joint) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: internal prosthetic hip joint (M97.0), internal prosthetic knee joint (M97.1), internal prosthetic ankle joint (M97.2), internal prosthetic shoulder joint (M97.3), internal prosthetic elbow joint (M97.4) and unspecified internal prosthetic joint (M97.9).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

Code first: , if known, the specific type and cause of fracture, such as traumatic or pathological.

Use an additional code to identify the joint (Z96.6-).
