S92.8Other fracture of foot, except ankle

S92.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other fracture of foot, except ankle. 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 1 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S92, choose S92.8 (Other fracture of foot, except ankle) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: fracture of calcaneus (S92.0), fracture of talus (S92.1), fracture of other and unspecified tarsal bone(s) (S92.2), fracture of metatarsal bone(s) (S92.3), fracture of great toe (S92.4), fracture of lesser toe(s) (S92.5) and unspecified fracture of foot and toe (S92.9).

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, P for subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion and 1 more. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.
