S32.8Fracture of other parts of pelvis

S32.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for fracture of other parts of pelvis. It belongs to category S32 (fracture of lumbar spine and pelvis), block S30-S39 (injuries to the abdomen, lower back, lumbar spine, pelvis and external genitals) 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S32, choose S32.8 (other parts of pelvis) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: lumbar vertebra (S32.0), sacrum (S32.1), coccyx (S32.2), ilium (S32.3), acetabulum (S32.4), pubis (S32.5), ischium (S32.6) and unspecified parts of lumbosacral spine and pelvis (S32.9).

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.

Code first: any associated spinal cord and spinal nerve injury (S34.-).

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