If the talus bone is a part of the fracture, you will not find a code specifically for the Talus. ICD-10-PCS has grouped the seven short bones in the foot and ankle area together, collectively known as the tarsus. Therefore, a fracture of the Talus is coded under repair of Tarsal.
fracture of ankle ( S82.-) fracture of malleolus ( S82.-) traumatic amputation of ankle and foot ( S98.-) Reimbursement claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015 require the use of ICD-10-CM codes.
fracture of malleolus ( S82.-) traumatic amputation of ankle and foot ( S98.-) 2016 (effective 10/1/2015): New code (first year of non-draft ICD-10-CM) Diagnosis Index entries containing back-references to S92.12:
The talus is the bone that makes up the lower part of the ankle joint (the tibia and fibula make up the upper part). The ankle joint allows your foot to move up and down. The talus also sits above the heel bone (calcaneus). Together, the talus and calcaneus form the subtalar joint.
The talus is a small bone that sits between the heel bone (calcaneus) and the two bones of the lower leg (the tibia and fibula). It has an irregular, humped shape like a turtle's shell. The bones of the lower leg ride on top and around the sides to form the ankle joint.
ICD-10 code S82 for Fracture of lower leg, including ankle is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S52. 501A: Unspecified fracture of the lower end of right radius, initial encounter for closed fracture.
The talus (plural: tali 4), also known as the astragalus 4, is a tarsal bone in the hindfoot that articulates with the tibia, fibula, calcaneus, and navicular bones.
The talus is composed of a body, neck and head, and posterior and lateral processes. The talar body is wedge-shaped, wider anteriorly than posteriorly and largely covered by articular cartilage.

How ICD-10 codes are structuredFirst three characters: General category,Fourth character (to the right of the decimal): The type of injury,Fifth character: Which finger was injured,Sixth character: Which hand was injured,Seventh character: The type of encounter (A, D, or S) as discussed above.
Fusion of an ankle is done on the joint, not the bone, and is still coded as the ankle joint. 0SGF04Z - Fusion of Right Ankle Joint with Internal Fixation Device, Open Approach. If there is a displaced ankle joint, you will code the root of the procedure and the approach; this would be in addition to any fractures.
Fusions happen on joints; insertions for a fracture are coded to the specific bone and will be found in the section under lower bones .
