What does the 7th character "K" mean in S82.134K?
In S82.134K, the 7th character K means subsequent encounter for closed fracture with nonunion. The 7th character is required for S82.134K to be a valid, complete code.

Which MS-DRGs does S82.134K group to?
S82.134K sits in MDC 08 and helps define the logic of 3 MS-DRGs (version 44, FY2027). Which one a stay actually groups to also depends on procedures and secondary diagnoses.
- 564Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses with MCCmedical
- 565Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses with CCmedical
- 566Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses without CC/MCCmedical
As a secondary diagnosis, S82.134K is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.
How is S82.134K listed in the Alphabetic Index?
The Alphabetic Index lists these routes under S82.13, the nearest indexed parent of S82.134K. Use them to find the family, then select the specific code.
- Fracture, traumatic › tibia › upper end › medial condyle (abduction) (adduction) (separation)
- Fracture, traumatic › tibia › upper end › medial condyle › nondisplaced (abduction) (adduction) (separation)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S82
The conditions below can never be reported together with S82.134K 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 lower leg (S88.-)
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S82.134K to fully describe the condition. S82.134K 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 S82.134K, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S82.134K and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S80-S89
The conditions below are not part of S82.134K, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S82.134K and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S82
The conditions below are not part of S82.134K, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S82.134K and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S82.1
The conditions below are not part of S82.134K, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S82.134K and the excluded code may both be reported.
How long has S82.134K existed?
S82.134K 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.
