S72.455 — Nondisplaced supracondylar fracture without intracondylar extension of lower end of left femur
Is S72.455 billable?
No — S72.455 is a non-billable header code. S72.455 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 16 billable codes beneath S72.455.

How is S72.455 listed in the Alphabetic Index?
The Alphabetic Index lists these routes under S72.45, the nearest indexed parent of S72.455. Use them to find the family, then select the specific code.
- Fracture, traumatic › femur, femoral › lower end › supracondylar (abduction) (adduction) (separation)
- Fracture, traumatic › femur, femoral › lower end › supracondylar › nondisplaced (abduction) (adduction) (separation)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S72
The conditions below can never be reported together with S72.455 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- traumatic amputation of hip and thigh (S78.-)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S72.45
The conditions below can never be reported together with S72.455 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- supracondylar fracture with intracondylar extension of lower end of femur (S72.46-)
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S72.455 to fully describe the condition. S72.455 is sequenced first.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19
The conditions below are not part of S72.455, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S72.455 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S70-S79
The conditions below are not part of S72.455, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S72.455 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S72
The conditions below are not part of S72.455, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S72.455 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S72.4
The conditions below are not part of S72.455, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S72.455 and the excluded code may both be reported.

How long has S72.455 existed?
S72.455 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
