S92.2: Fracture of other tarsal bone(s)

A fracture of other tarsal bones refers to an injury where one or more of the seven small bones located in the foot, not including the heel bone, are broken. The tarsal bones are located between the heel bone and the metatarsals, which are the bones in the mid foot and toes. This kind of fracture is commonly caused by direct force, such as falling from a height or tripping, twisting the foot awkwardly, or overuse and repeated stress on the foot from activities like running or jumping. Symptoms may include pain that grows worse with activity or when weight is put on the foot, swelling, bruising, and difficulty walking. Without proper diagnosis and treatment, this can potentially lead to long term problems such as arthritis or deformity of the foot.
