About S93.52

S93.52 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for sprain of metatarsophalangeal joint of toe. It belongs to category S93 (dislocation and sprain of joints and ligaments at ankle, foot and toe level), 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 7 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S93.5 (sprain of toe), S93.52 is specifically for sprain of metatarsophalangeal joint of toe. Related codes cover unspecified sprain of toe (S93.50) and sprain of interphalangeal joint of toe (S93.51).

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.
