About the S97 Code Range
The ICD-10 code S97 covers crushing injuries specifically involving the ankle and foot. This includes detailed subcodes that identify the precise site—whether the right or left ankle, toes, or foot itself—and the stage of care such as initial, subsequent, or sequela (complications or late effects).
This set of codes is used to document injuries like crush injury, closed or open crush injury, and damage at multiple lower limb sites. For example, codes S97.00XA and S97.81XA represent the initial encounter for unspecified ankle and right foot crushing injuries, respectively. Synonyms such as “crush injury of the ankle,” “crush injury of toe,” and “crushing injury of foot” help medical coders and healthcare professionals accurately assign the proper code based on the injury location and encounter type. These codes facilitate precise reporting for treatment, billing, and clinical records associated with traumatic crushing damage to the lower extremity.
