Fracture of talus. S92.1 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM S92.1 became effective on October 1, 2018. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S92.1 - other international versions of ICD-10 S92.1 may differ.
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.-) Reimbursement claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015 require the use of ICD-10-CM codes.
Unspecified fracture of right talus, initial encounter for closed fracture. S92. 101A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
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.
733.82 - Nonunion of fracture.
Recovery. The recovery from a talus fracture can be lengthy because until the bone is healed, you cannot place weight on your foot. Therefore, most talus fractures require a minimum of six to 12 weeks of protection from weight-bearing.
The talus (/ˈteɪləs/; Latin for ankle or ankle bone), talus bone, astragalus (/əˈstræɡələs/), or ankle bone is one of the group of foot bones known as the tarsus. The tarsus forms the lower part of the ankle joint. It transmits the entire weight of the body from the lower legs to the foot.
The talus is the second largest tarsal bone, and it is situated above the calcaneus in the hindfoot. This bone is unique in that two thirds of the talar surface is covered with articular cartilage, and neither tendons nor muscles insert or originate from this bone.
In ICD-10-CM a fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced, and a fracture not designated as open or closed should be coded to closed. While the classification defaults to displaced for fractures, it is very important that complete documentation is encouraged.
A malunion occurs when a fractured bone heals in an abnormal position, which can lead to impaired function of the bone or limb and make it look like it is 'bent'. Similarly, a nonunion is the result of a fractured bone failing to heal after an extended period of time – in some cases over a period of 9 to 12 months.
Unspecified fracture of sternum, subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion. S22. 20XK is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
A talus fracture is a broken bone in your ankle. Your talus is the main connection between your foot and your leg. A talus fracture can cause significant loss of function in your ankle. Talus fractures usually occur due to high-impact injuries such as car accidents.
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.
Muscle and ligamentous attachments No muscles are attached to the talus but many ligaments are attached to the bone, creating stability in the ankle, subtalar and calcaneonavicular joints. On the lateral side, the joint is held together by the posterior talofibular and anterior talofibular ligaments.
