ICD-10-CM Code S82.4
Fracture of shaft of fibula
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 Code S82.4 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the seven child codes of S82.4 that describes the diagnosis 'fracture of shaft of fibula' in more detail.

The ICD code S824 is used to code Bosworth fracture
The Bosworth fracture is a rare fracture of the distal fibula with an associated fixed posterior dislocation of the proximal fibular fragment which becomes trapped behind the posterior tibial tubercle. The injury is caused by severe external rotation of the ankle. The ankle remains externally rotated after the injury, making interpretation of X-rays difficult which can lead to misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment. The injury is most commonly treated by open reduction internal fixation as closed reduction is made difficult by the entrapment of the fibula behind the tibia.

Code Type-2 Excludes:
Type-2 Excludes
Type-2 Excludes means the excluded conditions are different, although they may appear similar. A patient may have both conditions, but one does not include the other. Excludes 2 means "not coded here." - Fracture of lateral malleolus alone - instead, use code S82.6-
Parent Code: S82 - Fracture of lower leg, including ankle
