About S02.40F

S02.40F is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for zygomatic fracture, left side. It belongs to category S02 (fracture of skull and facial bones), block S00-S09 (injuries to the head) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 6 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S02.40 (fracture of malar, maxillary and zygoma bones, unspecified), S02.40F is specifically for zygomatic fracture, left side. Related codes cover malar fracture, unspecified side (S02.400), maxillary fracture, unspecified side (S02.401), zygomatic fracture, unspecified side (S02.402), malar fracture, right side (S02.40A), malar fracture, left side (S02.40B), maxillary fracture, right side (S02.40C), maxillary fracture, left side (S02.40D) and zygomatic fracture, right side (S02.40E).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter for closed fracture, B for initial encounter for open fracture, D for subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing, G for subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing, K for subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

It was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.
