About S92.15

S92.15 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for avulsion fracture (chip fracture) of talus. It belongs to category S92 (fracture of foot and toe, except ankle), block S90-S99 (injuries to the ankle and foot) 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 S92.1 (fracture of talus), S92.15 is specifically for avulsion fracture (chip fracture) of talus. Related codes cover unspecified fracture of talus (S92.10), fracture of neck of talus (S92.11), fracture of body of talus (S92.12), fracture of posterior process of talus (S92.13), dome fracture of talus (S92.14) and other fracture of talus (S92.19).

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 hasn't changed since.
