S02.60Fracture of mandible, unspecified

S02.60 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for fracture of mandible, unspecified. 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 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S02.6, choose S02.60 (unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: condylar process of mandible (S02.61), subcondylar process of mandible (S02.62), coronoid process of mandible (S02.63), ramus of mandible (S02.64), angle of mandible (S02.65), symphysis of mandible (S02.66), alveolus of mandible (S02.67) and of other specified site (S02.69).

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 has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
