T84.22Displacement of internal fixation device of other bones

T84.22 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for displacement of internal fixation device of other bones. It belongs to category T84 (complications of internal orthopedic prosthetic devices, implants and grafts), block T80-T88 (complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified) 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 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within T84.2, choose T84.22 (Displacement of internal fixation device of other bones) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: breakdown (mechanical) of internal fixation device of other bones (T84.21) and other mechanical complication of internal fixation device of other bones (T84.29).

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.
