Nondisplaced transverse fracture of shaft of unspecified tibia
Requires 7th character
S82.226 requires a 7th character to be reported. Choose a complete code below.
Inclusion terms
Includes (from S82)
- fracture of malleolus
- Note: Use secondary code(s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code
- Note: The chapter uses the S-section for coding different types of injuries related to single body regions and the T-section to cover injuries to unspecified body regions as well as poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes.
- Note: A fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced
- Note: A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed
- Note: The open fracture designations are based on the Gustilo open fracture classification
Excludes1
Not coded here — never report together with this code.
Excludes2
Not included here — may be reported together when both conditions exist.

- insect bite or sting, venomous (T63.4) (from S82)
- fracture of foot, except ankle (S92.-) (from S82)

|---|---|
| A | initial encounter for closed fracture |
| B | initial encounter for open fracture type I or II |
| C | initial encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC |
| D | subsequent encounter for closed fracture with routine healing |
| E | subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with routine healing |
| F | subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with routine healing |
| G | subsequent encounter for closed fracture with delayed healing |
| H | subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with delayed healing |
| J | subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with delayed healing |
| K | subsequent encounter for closed fracture with nonunion |
| M | subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with nonunion |
| N | subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with nonunion |
| P | subsequent encounter for closed fracture with malunion |
| Q | subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with malunion |
| R | subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with malunion |
