 S89

Other and unspecified injuries of lower leg

A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed

other and unspecified injuries of ankle and foot (S99.-)

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from subcategories S89.0, S89.1, S89.2, and S89.3

A

initial encounter for closed fracture

D

subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing

G

subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing

K

subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion

P

subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion

S

sequela
