ICD-10-CM S92.199D: Other fracture of unspecified talus, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing

ICD-10-CM code S92.199D designates an other fracture of an unspecified talus during a subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing. The concept is an active injury or poisoning terminology record with a parent code of S92.199. General clinical sources describe talar fractures as high-energy injuries that can disrupt the bone's vascular supply, leading to necrosis. 1 2

Plain-language overview

The terminology record for S92.199D uses the preferred name other fracture of unspecified talus, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing to identify a specific phase of bone injury recovery. 1

What this code represents

The code S92.199D is an active concept assigned the semantic type of Injury or Poisoning, and it exists as a narrower concept beneath the parent code S92.199 for other fracture of unspecified talus. 1

The terminology record for S92.199D includes the phrase subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing directly within its official preferred name and published abbreviation. 1

Clinical context

Clinical literature establishes that talus fractures often involve a high-energy traumatic mechanism, and fracture fragment displacement can disrupt the tenuous blood supply to the talus, resulting in necrosis. 2

Talar neck fractures account for approximately 50% of all talus fractures, making the talus the second most common tarsal bone injury, though the overall injury pattern remains relatively rare. 2

Documentation considerations

The terminology record provides an official published abbreviation for S92.199D, which is oth fracture of unsp talus, subs for fx w routn heal, as an alternate name for the concept. 1

Coverage and utilization context

A federal coding manual lists S92.199D alongside distinct subsequent encounter codes for displaced and nondisplaced fractures of the talus neck, body, posterior process, and dome. 3

What the sources add

While the terminology record defines the specific diagnosis code S92.199D, the clinical literature provides general anatomical context regarding talar neck vascular vulnerability without defining the target code. 1 2
