Unspecified fracture of right calcaneus, initial encounter for closed fracture. S92.001A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM S92.001A became effective on October 1, 2020.
To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the seven child codes of S92.0 that describes the diagnosis 'fracture of calcaneus' in more detail. Calcaneal fracture, also known as lover's fracture and Don Juan fracture, is a fracture of the calcaneus. It is usually caused by a fall from height when one lands on their feet.
S92.01 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S92.01 became effective on October 1, 2021.

ICD-10-CM Code for Displaced fracture of body of left calcaneus, initial encounter for closed fracture S92. 012A.
A fracture of the calcaneus, or heel bone, can be a painful and disabling injury. This type of fracture commonly occurs during a high-energy event — such as a car crash or a fall from a ladder — when the heel is crushed under the weight of the body. When this occurs, the heel can widen, shorten, and become deformed.
9: Disorder of bone, unspecified.
M79. 671 is the code for bilateral foot or heel pain, or pain in the right foot. M79. 672 is the code for pain in the left foot or heel.
On the lateral side is commonly a tubercle called the calcaneal tubercle (or trochlear process). This is a raised projection located between the tendons of the peroneus longus and brevis. It separates the two oblique grooves of the lateral surface of the calcaneus (for the tendons of the peroneal muscles).
The calcaneus is an irregular bone, cuboid in shape whose superior surface can be divided into three areas - the posterior, middle and anterior aspects.
Calcaneal fractures have characteristic appearances based on the mechanism of injury and are divided into two major groups, intraarticular and extraarticular. Most calcaneal fractures (70%–75%) are intraarticular and result from axial loading that produces shear and compression fracture lines.
Fractures of the calcaneus are a complex group of injuries with highly variable outcomes. They most commonly occur as a result of axial loading. A single twisting injury may cause a non-displaced fracture.
Other specified disorders of bone, other site M89. 8X8 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M89. 8X8 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A bone lesion is considered a bone tumor if the abnormal area has cells that divide and multiply at higher-than-normal rates to create a mass in the bone. The term "tumor" does not indicate whether an abnormal growth is malignant (cancerous) or benign, as both benign and malignant lesions can form tumors in the bone.

Some, but not all, calcaneus fractures require surgery. The broken bone will take 3-4 months to heal with or without surgery. If surgery is not needed, there will still be a time where movement and weight bearing is limited.
Treatment of Calcaneal FracturesRest, ice, compression and elevation (RICE). Rest (staying off the injured foot) is needed to allow the fracture to heal. ... Immobilization. Sometimes the foot is placed in a cast or cast boot to keep the fractured bone from moving.
Recovery can take a long time. The period of non-weightbearing usually lasts for 8-12 weeks. Physical therapy can help with motion and improve the function of the foot. Calcaneus fractures are significant injuries.
Symptoms. Some calcaneal fractures are obvious, resulting in an inability to put weight on the heel, swelling of the heel and bruising of the heel and ankle. Pain is usually severe enough to require an emergency room visit.
Calcaneal fracture, also known as lover's fracture and Don Juan fracture, is a fracture of the calcaneus. It is usually caused by a fall from height when one lands on their feet. These fractures represent approximately 2% of all fractures but 60% of tarsal bone fractures.
