ICD-10 code for lumbar spine sprain

The ICD-10-CM code for lumbar spine sprain is S33.5 (Sprain of ligaments of lumbar spine).

Within S33 (dislocation and sprain of joints and ligaments of lumbar spine and pelvis), S33.5 is specifically for sprain of ligaments of lumbar spine. Related codes cover traumatic rupture of lumbar intervertebral disc (S33.0), subluxation and dislocation of lumbar vertebra (S33.1), dislocation of sacroiliac and sacrococcygeal joint (S33.2), dislocation of other and unspecified parts of lumbar spine and pelvis (S33.3), traumatic rupture of symphysis pubis (S33.4), sprain of sacroiliac joint (S33.6), sprain of other parts of lumbar spine and pelvis (S33.8) and sprain of unspecified parts of lumbar spine and pelvis (S33.9).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
