To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the six child codes of S82.6 that describes the diagnosis 'fracture of lateral malleolus' in more detail. The ICD code S826 is used to code Wagstaffe-Le Fort avulsion fracture.
S82.61XA is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. Short description: Disp fx of lateral malleolus of right fibula, init.

Lateral malleolus is the name given to the bone on the outside of the ankle joint, called the fibula. The most common type of ankle fracture is a lateral malleolus fracture, which can occur when the ankle is twisted or rolled.
Medial malleolar fractures are usually the result of eversion or external rotation. These two forces exert tension on the deltoid ligament, causing an avulsion of the tip of the medial malleolus or a rupture of the deltoid ligament.

Avulsion fractures are breaks or splits in the bone. Stress placed on the bone by a tendon or ligament causes the fracture. As the bone breaks, the part of the bone that is attached to the tendon or ligament pulls away from the rest of the bone.
The lateral malleolus is the bone on the outside of the fibula. A lateral malleolus fracture is a type of ankle fracture that occurs when the fibula fractures just above the ankle joint. It is the most common type of ankle fracture and may happen when the foot rolls or twists.
– Lateral malleolus: The bony prominence on the lateral side of the ankle joint. It is formed by the inferior end of the fibula. – The tubercle of the fifth metatarsal: The most prominent bony structure approximately at the middle of the lateral border of the foot.
An avulsion fracture occurs when a small chunk of bone attached to a tendon or ligament gets pulled away from the main part of the bone. The hip, elbow and ankle are the most common locations for avulsion fractures in the young athlete.
Your fibula is the outer bone in your lower leg. A fibular avulsion fracture is usually caused by a sudden inward rolling of your foot. This puts too much stress on your ligament and causes it to pull off a small piece of bone. This causes swelling and pain that makes walking difficult or impossible.
The medial malleolus is the prominence on the inner side of the ankle, formed by the lower end of the tibia. The lateral malleolus is the prominence on the outer side of the ankle, formed by the lower end of the fibula....MalleolusTA21421, 1442Anatomical terms of bone6 more rows
Le Fort's fracture of the ankle is a vertical fracture of the antero-medial part of the distal fibula with avulsion of the anterior tibiofibular ligament, opposite to a Tillaux-Chaput avulsion fracture
