S02.129K Fracture of orbital roof, unspecified side, subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion

Billable ICD-10-CM code, FY2026.

Built from S02.129 with 7th character K (subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion).

Applies from S02 Fracture of skull and facial bones

Code also

• any associated intracranial injury (S06.-)

7th character note

• The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category S02

Notes

• A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed

7th character required

• A — initial encounter for closed fracture
• B — initial encounter for open fracture
• D — subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
• G — subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
• K — subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion
• S — sequela

Applies from S02.1 Fracture of base of skull

Excludes2 (not included here)

• lateral orbital wall (S02.84-)
• medial orbital wall (S02.83-)
• orbital floor (S02.3-)

Medicare Code Edits (MCE v43.1 (April 2026))

• Unspecified code (laterality): Unspecified codes for which a more specific code identifying laterality (right, left, bilateral) exists within the same code family.
