Other and unspecified injuries of hip and thigh (S79)

Browse all the diagnosis codes used for other and unspecified injuries of hip and thigh (s79). For easy navigation, the diagnosis codes are sorted in alphabetical order and grouped by sections. Each section is clearly marked with its description, and the corresponding three-digit code range. This format makes it simple to browse diagnosis codes in this chapter or section and find what you're looking for. We've also added green checkmark icons to label billable codes, and red warning icons for non-billable ones. This makes it easy to identify which codes can be billed.

Instructional Notations

7th Character Note

Certain ICD-10-CM categories have applicable 7th characters. The applicable 7th character is required for all codes within the category, or as the notes in the Tabular List instruct. The 7th character must always be the 7th character in the data field. If a code that requires a 7th character is not 6 characters, a placeholder X must be used to fill in the empty characters.

  • The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from subcategories S79.0 S79.1

7th Character

Indicates that a seventh character is to be assigned to codes in a subcategory.

  • 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

  • A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed
  • Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00–T88)

    • Injuries to the hip and thigh (S70-S79)
