ICD-10-CM S92.192K: Other fracture of left talus, subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion

ICD-10-CM code S92.192K identifies an other fracture of the left talus during a subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion. The concept is an active injury or poisoning terminology record with a parent code of S92.192. Clinical literature notes that nonunions after talar fractures are complications that may require surgical treatment. 1 2

Plain-language overview

The official terminology record assigns the preferred name of other fracture of left talus, subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion to code S92.192K and classifies its semantic type as an injury or poisoning. 1

What this code represents

Within the coding hierarchy, S92.192K is a narrower concept that falls under the parent code S92.192, which designates other fractures of the left talus. 1

The terminology record lists the published abbreviation for S92.192K as oth fracture of left talus, subs for fx w nonunion, and indicates the record status is active. 1

Coding details

Code S92.192K is distinct from S92.192D for routine healing and S92.192G for delayed healing, as it specifically captures a subsequent encounter for a fracture with nonunion. 3

The code specifies left talus laterality and is distinct from S92.191K, which represents a subsequent encounter for nonunion of an other fracture of the right talus. 3

Clinical context

Clinical literature establishes that nonunion is a complication associated with talar fractures, and surgical interventions for talar nonunions can bring about satisfactory outcomes depending on the deformity. 2

Documentation considerations

The code tree listing distinguishes S92.192K from other left talus fracture codes by encounter type and healing status, including routine healing, delayed healing, and malunion. 3

What the sources add

While the terminology record provides the official code definition and active status, the clinical source adds context that talar nonunions may follow neglected or mal-reduced fractures due to vulnerable blood supply. 1 2

The terminology record establishes the official code definition for S92.192K, while the code tree listing places this specific code among related left and right talus fracture variants with different healing statuses. 1 3
