S94.0Injury of lateral plantar nerve

S94.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for injury of lateral plantar nerve. It belongs to category S94 (injury of nerves at ankle and foot 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S94 (injury of nerves at ankle and foot level), S94.0 is specifically for injury of lateral plantar nerve. Related codes cover medial plantar nerve (S94.1), deep peroneal nerve at ankle and foot level (S94.2), cutaneous sensory nerve at ankle and foot level (S94.3), other nerves at ankle and foot level (S94.8) and unspecified nerve at ankle and foot level (S94.9).

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.
