This 7th Character usually captures Episode of Care information, such as "Initial Encounter," "Subsquent Encounter," or "Sequela." ICD Code S92.355 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use specify a 7th character that describes the diagnosis 'nondisplaced fracture of fifth metatarsal bone, left foot' in more detail.

733.82 - Nonunion of fracture.
A nonunion was defined as a painful 5th metatarsal fracture 3 months after presentation with radiographic evidence of bone resorption with radiolucency at the fracture line along with obliteration of the medullary canal by sclerotic bone for fractures distal to the tuberosity and absence of callus formation in two ...
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.
Displaced fracture of fifth metatarsal bone, right foot, initial encounter for closed fracture. S92. 351A 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 S92.
Nondisplaced fractures of the metatarsal shaft usually require only a soft dressing followed by a firm, supportive shoe and progressive weight bearing. Stress fractures of the first to fourth metatarsal shafts typically heal well with rest alone and usually do not require immobilization.
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.
Nonunion and malunion fractures are identified with defective healing: nonunion describes the failure of a fractured bone to heal and mend after an extended period of time; malunion refers to a fracture that has healed in a deformed position, or with shortening or rotation of the limb.
Some broken bones do not heal even when they get the best surgical or nonsurgical treatment. In some cases, certain risk factors make it more likely that a bone will fail to heal. When a broken bone fails to heal it is called a "nonunion." A "delayed union" is when a fracture takes longer than usual to heal.

The fifth metatarsal is the long bone on the outside of the foot that connects to the little toe.
Displaced Fracture: bone breaks into two or more pieces and moves out of alignment. Non-Displaced Fracture: the bone breaks but does not move out of alignment. Closed Fracture: the skin is not broken.

The ICD code S923 is used to code Jones fracture. A Jones fracture is a fracture in the meta-diaphyseal junction of the fifth metatarsal of the foot. The proximal end of the metatarsal, where the Jones fracture occurs, is near the midportion of the foot, on the fifth ray (of which the 5th toe belongs). Those who sustain a Jones fracture have pain ...
Those who sustain a Jones fracture have pain over this area, swelling, and difficulty walking. The fracture was first described by orthopedic surgeon Sir Robert Jones who sustained this injury himself (while dancing) and reported it in the Annals of Surgery in 1902. Specialty: Emergency Medicine.
