ICD-10-CM Code for Fracture of calcaneus S92. 0.
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.
Overview. The calcaneus is the large bone at the heel of the foot.

The calcaneus is an irregular bone, cuboid in shape whose superior surface can be divided into three areas - the posterior, middle and anterior aspects.
noun, plural cal·ca·ne·i [kal-key-nee-ahy].
BDICs are highly comminuted calcaneal fractures that constitute the most severe portion of Sanders type IV calcaneal fractures. This type of injury features a significant loss of height, shortening and widening of the calcaneus, and the collapse of the articular surfaces, especially the posterior articular surface.Apr 11, 2014
The Achilles (uh-KILL-ease) tendon is a band of tissue in the back of your leg. This tendon links your heel bone (calcaneus, pronounced cal-KAY-nee-us) to your calf muscles. It's also called the calcaneal tendon.Sep 24, 2021
Often, squeezing the bone with two fingers is tender – called the heel stress fracture test. Also, repeated hopping or jumping on one leg brings on the pain. In addition, examination of other structures such as Achilles or plantar fascia is done. If the fracture is early, then an X-ray may be normal.

If a fracture is not specified as either open or closed, you must assume it is closed, as indicated by an instructional note at the beginning of ICD-9-CM chapter 17, in the Fractures section (categories 800-829).Mar 1, 2013
