S92.191 is a non-billable ICD-10 code for Other fracture of right talus.
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.

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).
Overview. 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 .
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 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.

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.

Short Bones Are Cube-shaped The carpals in the wrist (scaphoid, lunate, triquetral, hamate, pisiform, capitate, trapezoid, and trapezium) and the tarsals in the ankles (calcaneus, talus, navicular, cuboid, lateral cuneiform, intermediate cuneiform, and medial cuneiform) are examples of short bones.
An avulsion fracture is where a fragment of bone is pulled away at the ligamentous or tendinous attachment. It can be caused by traumatic traction (repetitive long-term or a single high impact traumatic traction) of the ligament or tendon. This occurs as tendons can bear more load than the bone.
You should be able to walk on it, but not without pain. Displaced. The pain, swelling, and tenderness are greater. You may not be able to put weight on the injured ankle.
