S63.39Traumatic rupture of other ligament of wrist

S63.39 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for traumatic rupture of other ligament of wrist. It belongs to category S63 (dislocation and sprain of joints and ligaments 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S63.3, choose S63.39 (other ligament of wrist) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified ligament of wrist (S63.30), collateral ligament of wrist (S63.31), radiocarpal ligament (S63.32) and ulnocarpal (palmar) ligament (S63.33).

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.

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