S82.444 — Nondisplaced spiral fracture of shaft of right fibula
Is S82.444 billable?
No — S82.444 is a non-billable header code. S82.444 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 S82.444.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S82
The conditions below can never be reported together with S82.444 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 S82.444 to fully describe the condition. S82.444 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 S82.444, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S82.444 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S80-S89
The conditions below are not part of S82.444, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S82.444 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S82
The conditions below are not part of S82.444, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S82.444 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S82.4
The conditions below are not part of S82.444, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S82.444 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- fracture of lateral malleolus alone (S82.6-)

How long has S82.444 existed?
S82.444 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.
