S32.15XS Type 2 fracture of sacrum, sequela

ICD-10-CM S32.15XS: Type 2 fracture of sacrum, sequela

ICD-10-CM code S32.15XS carries the official label of Type 2 fracture of sacrum, sequela, and is an active diagnosis concept classified under the broader parent category S32.15. The terminology record assigns this specific code a semantic type of Injury or Poisoning. This reference outlines the code's structural hierarchy and distinguishes it from related initial encounter codes. 1 3

Plain-language overview

The official label for S32.15XS is Type 2 fracture of sacrum, sequela, providing a standardized terminology designation for this specific clinical diagnosis within the ICD-10-CM version 2026 system. 1

Sacral fractures are discussed in clinical literature as injuries that can occur as part of broader pelvic fractures resulting from damage to components of the pelvic ring, including the sacrum and coccyx. 2

What this code represents

The code S32.15XS is assigned the semantic type of Injury or Poisoning, which classifies its fundamental clinical nature within the terminology framework. 1 3

Within the ICD-10-CM hierarchy, S32.15XS is a narrower concept that falls under the parent code S32.15, designated as Type 2 fracture of sacrum without specifying an encounter. 1

Coding details

The S32.15XS code is distinct from S32.15XA; while S32.15XS denotes a sequela, S32.15XA represents the initial encounter for a closed fracture of the same type. 1 4

The related initial encounter code S32.15XA is identified as a billable diagnosis code that maps to Vertebral Fractures without Spinal Cord Injury under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model. 4

Documentation considerations

Clinical documentation for pelvic fractures may involve monitoring hemodynamic status due to frequent concomitant blood loss, even when the fractures are closed, which provides context for injury severity. 2

What the sources add

While terminology records establish the official code label and hierarchical status for S32.15XS, clinical bookshelf sources provide operational context regarding pelvic fracture mechanisms and associated management considerations. 1 2

External coding resources add risk adjustment context for the related initial encounter code S32.15XA, noting a community non-dual aged RAF weight of 0.522, unlike the pure terminology focus of S32.15XS. 1 4
