Sprain of ligaments of cervical spine. S13.4 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM S13.4 became effective on October 1, 2018. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S13.4 - other international versions of ICD-10 S13.4 may differ.

What is the syndesmosis ligament? The syndesmosis is a fibrous joint held together by ligaments. It's located near the ankle joint, between the tibia, or shinbone, and the distal fibula, or outside leg bone. That's why it's also called the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis. It's actually made up of several ligaments.
439A.
The tibiofibular syndesmosis has four ligaments: the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL), posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (PITFL), inferior transverse ligament (ITL), and interosseous ligament (IOL).
A high ankle sprain is also called a syndesmotic injury. This name refers to the syndesmosis, or high ankle ligaments. Your healthcare provider will do certain tests like the syndesmosis squeeze test when diagnosing this sprain.
Abstract. Syndesmosis injuries occur when there is a disruption of the distal attachment of the tibia and fibula. These injuries occur commonly (up to 18% of ankle sprains), and the incidence increases in the setting of athletic activity. Recognition of these injuries is key to preventing long-term morbidity.
A syndesmotic ankle sprain is an injury to one or more of the ligaments comprising the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis; it is often referred to as a "high ankle sprain." Compared with the more common lateral ankle sprain, the high ankle sprain causes pain more proximally, just above the ankle joint, and is associated ...
Injury to the syndesmosis can occur to any or all of the following structures: anterior tibiofibular ligament; posterior tibiofibular ligament, including its superficial and deep (transverse) components; interosseous ligament; and interosseous membrane.
An interosseous membrane is a thick dense fibrous sheet of connective tissue that spans the space between two bones, forming a type of syndesmosis joint.
The distal tibia and fibula are held tightly together by the syndesmosis membrane, and the anterior and posterior tibiofibular ligaments. A syndesmotic sprain or high ankle sprain is an injury to the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis with possible disruption of the distal tibiofibular ligaments and interosseous membrane.
A high ankle sprain involves different ligaments than a common ankle sprain. These ligaments are located above the ankle joint and between the tibia and fibula. They form what is known as the syndesmosis (pronounced "SIN-des-MO-sis"). These account for only about 14% of ankle sprains.
The weakest and most commonly injured ligament in the ankle is the anterior talofibular ligament. This is a lateral ligament, which means it consists of a band of connective tissue and is located on the outside of the ankle. It is near the posterior talofibular ligament.
A syndesmosis is defined as a fibrous joint in which two adjacent bones are linked by a strong membrane or ligaments. This definition also applies for the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis, which is a syndesmotic joint formed by two bones and four ligaments.
Purpose: The interosseous ligament (IOL) is known to be an important longitudinal stabilizer of the forearm. We hypothesize that it may also contribute to transverse stability, with pronosupination tensioning of the radius relative to the ulna.
At a syndesmosis, the bones are more widely separated but are held together by a strap of fibrous connective tissue called a ligament or a wide sheet of connective tissue called an interosseous membrane. This type of fibrous joint is found between the shaft regions of the long bones in the forearm and in the leg.
Two of these – the anterior talofibular ligament, and the posterior talofibular ligament- attach to the talus. The third calcaneofibular ligament attaches to the calcaneus, or heel bone. These ligaments give the ankle lateral support and stability.
