Injury of nerves at lower leg level (S84) ICD-10-CM
The S84 code range covers injury of nerves at lower leg level with 67 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 45 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2027, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
Code Also
A "code also" note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction.
- any associated open wound S81
Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.
- injury of nerves at ankle and foot level S94
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 category S84
7th Character
Indicates that a seventh character is to be assigned to codes in a subcategory.
- A - initial encounter
- D - subsequent encounter
- S - sequela

About the S84 Code Range
These injuries affect nerves at the lower leg level, within the broader group of knee and lower leg injuries.
The subdivisions distinguish injuries to the tibial nerve, peroneal nerve, and cutaneous sensory nerves from injuries to other nerves or an unspecified nerve. Cutaneous sensory nerves carry sensation from the skin. Most branches then distinguish the right leg, left leg, or unspecified leg.
The final character distinguishes an initial encounter, a subsequent encounter, or sequela, meaning later effects of the injury.
