The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category M80:

- Dsubsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
- Gsubsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
- Ksubsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion
- Psubsequent encounter for fracture with malunion
- Ssequela
Guidelines tips
From the FY2027 Official Guidelines. ICD10Ref adds no rules of its own.
A fracture in a patient with known osteoporosis is coded from M80 when the trauma would not usually break a normal bone. M81 has no site component.
7th character A applies while the patient is in active treatment, regardless of which provider sees them. D is for routine care during healing after active treatment ends.
