Short description: Displaced comminuted fracture of shaft of right tibia, init The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S82.251A became effective on October 1, 2021.
Displaced comminuted fracture of shaft of right tibia, initial encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC. S82.251C is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM S82.251C became effective on October 1, 2020.
Closed fracture of right tibia. Closed fracture of shaft of right tibia. Right tibia (lower leg bone) fracture. Right tibia shaft (lower leg bone) fracture. ICD-10-CM S82.201A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0): 562 Fracture, sprain, strain and dislocation except femur, hip, pelvis and thigh with mcc.
Comminuted fracture: In this type of fracture, the bone breaks into three or more pieces. Open fracture: If a bone breaks in such a way that bone fragments stick out through the skin or a wound penetrates down to the broken bone, the fracture is called an open or compound fracture.
Displaced, comminuted: A fracture where the bones are broken in several fragments and are not aligned. This fracture can be caused by high-energy trauma, such as a car accident or being struck by a vehicle. The treatment includes setting the bone without surgery and a long-leg cast worn for four to eight weeks.
S82. 201A - Unspecified fracture of shaft of right tibia [initial encounter for closed fracture]. ICD-10-CM.
The distal tibia, distal fibula, and talus articulate to form the bony structure of the ankle joint. The distal tibial articular surface, also known as the tibial plafond, is a quadrilateral surface that is wider anteriorly. 1–4. This surface is concave in the sagittal plane and slightly convex in the transverse plane.
Displaced and non-displaced fractures refer to the alignment of the fractured bone. In a displaced fracture, the bone snaps into two or more parts and moves so that the two ends are not lined up straight. If the bone is in many pieces, it is called a comminuted fracture.
One kind is a comminuted fracture. This injury happens when your bone breaks into three or more pieces. Fractures can be open or closed. If your skin breaks open from the wound, doctors call it a comminuted open or compound fracture.
Unspecified fracture of lower end of left tibia, initial encounter for closed fracture. S82. 302A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S82.
CPT® Code 27786 in section: Closed treatment of distal fibular fracture (lateral malleolus)
'When both the tibia and fibula are fractured, the index directs the clinical coder to assign a combined code. The exclusion at 'S82. 31 Fracture of lower end of tibia with fracture of fibula (any part)' directs the coder to 'S82. 5 Fracture of medial malleolus' if the medial malleolus is involved.
At the distal end of the tibia, the bone has changed shaped from triangular in cross section to rectangular in cross section. The medial surface of the distal end features a bony extension called the medial malleolus. It articulates with the talus within the ankle joint.
medialThe tibia is a medial and large long bone of the lower extremity, connecting the knee and ankle joints. It is considered to be the second largest bone in the body and it plays an important role in weight bearing.
These injuries account for 25% of all physeal injuries. The distal tibia is the third most common physis to be injured.
