About S62.92

S62.92 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for unspecified fracture of left hand. It belongs to category S62 (fracture at wrist and hand level), block S60-S69 (injuries to the wrist, hand and fingers) 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 7 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S62.9 (unspecified fracture of hand), S62.92 is specifically for unspecified fracture of left hand. Related codes cover unspecified hand (S62.90) and right hand (S62.91).

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, P for subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion and 1 more. 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 changed in FY2026 (title revised).
