ICD-10-CM S82.401G: Unspecified Fracture of Shaft of Right Fibula, Subsequent Encounter for Closed Fracture with Delayed Healing

ICD-10-CM code S82.401G identifies an unspecified fracture of the shaft of the right fibula during a subsequent encounter for a closed fracture with delayed healing. The concept is an active terminology record classified under the semantic type of Injury or Poisoning, with a parent code of S82.401. 1 3

Plain-language overview

Code S82.401G represents an injury concept for a right fibula shaft fracture, specifically documenting a subsequent encounter for a closed fracture experiencing delayed healing. 1

What this code represents

The official display label for S82.401G is Unspecified fracture of shaft of right fibula, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with delayed healing, and the record is currently active. 1

The terminology record assigns S82.401G the semantic type of Injury or Poisoning and establishes S82.401 as its direct parent concept in the hierarchy. 1

Coding details

An official terminology explorer maps the code S82.401G to the preferred text Unspecified fracture of shaft of right fibula, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with delayed healing within the ICD10CM system. 3

The terminology record includes the published abbreviation Unsp fx shaft of r fibula, subs for clos fx w delay heal and confirms the concept has narrower child concepts. 1

Documentation considerations

The official terminology label for S82.401G explicitly incorporates the right fibula anatomical site, the closed fracture status, and the subsequent encounter with delayed healing into its descriptive text. 1

Clinical context

Clinical literature indicates that the risk of delayed union is higher in open tibial fractures due to poor blood supply, though this general clinical fact does not define the target code. 2

What the sources add

While the terminology record provides the exact code hierarchy and label for S82.401G, the clinical manuscript adds general context regarding delayed union risk factors in related lower leg fractures. 1 2

Questions to verify

The supplied sources do not establish whether S82.401G is a billable code, nor do they provide payer-specific coverage rules, reimbursement guidelines, or specific clinical treatment protocols for this condition. 1 3
