About S93

S93 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for dislocation and sprain of joints and ligaments at ankle, foot and toe level. It belongs to 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.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: S93.0 (joint), S93.1 (toe), S93.3 (foot), S93.4 (ankle), S93.5 (toe) and S93.6 (foot).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of S93, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: strain of muscle and tendon of ankle and foot (S96.-).

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