ICD-10-CM Code S82.1
Fracture of upper end of tibia

NON-BILLABLE
Non-Billable Code
Non-Billable means the code is not sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. Use a child code to capture more detail.
| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

ICD Code S82.1 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the eight child codes of S82.1 that describes the diagnosis 'fracture of upper end of tibia' in more detail.


The ICD code S821 is used to code Bumper fracture

A Bumper fracture is a fracture of the lateral tibial plateau caused by a forced valgus applied to the knee. This causes the lateral part of the distal femur and the lateral tibial plateau to come into contact, compressing the tibial plateau and causing the tibia to fracture. The name of the injury is because it was described as being caused by the impact of a car bumper on the lateral side of the knee while the foot is planted on the ground, although this mechanism is only seen in about 25% of tibial plateau fractures.
