Noun. 1. closed fracture - an uncomplicated fracture in which the broken bones to not pierce the skin. simple fracture. fracture, break - breaking of hard tissue such as bone; "it was a nasty fracture"; "the break seems to have been caused by a fall".
Closed radius/ulna fracture is the breakage of one of the two or both the bones of the forearm right near wrist joint. The radius bone is located along the thumb side of the forearm, whereas the ulna is aligned with the side of the little finger of the hand. The breakage can occur near the wrist joint, elbow joint, or in the middle of the bone.
The fibula helps stabilize and support your leg, body, ankle, and leg muscles. It runs parallel to the tibia, a larger bone that also forms the shin, and attaches the ankle and knee joint. The fibula only carries 17 percent of the body’s weight. A fibula fracture happens when more pressure is put on the bone than it can handle.
Unspecified fracture of shaft of unspecified fibula, initial encounter for closed fracture. S82. 409A 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.
Definition. The fibula is a small bone that runs along the outside of the lower leg. A fibula shaft fracture is a break in the long, narrow part of this bone.
The fibular shaft lies distal to the neck and has three surfaces, lateral, medial, and posterior. The shape of the fibular shaft is determined by the muscle attachments.
ICD-10 Code for Unspecified fracture of shaft of left fibula, initial encounter for closed fracture- S82. 402A- Codify by AAPC.
Abstract. Isolated distal fibula fractures represent the majority of ankle fractures. These fractures are often the result of a low-energy trauma with external rotation and supination mechanism. Diagnosis is based on clinical signs and radiographic exam.
Unspecified physeal fracture of lower end of right fibula, initial encounter for closed fracture. S89. 301A 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 S89.
Location of the Fibula The fibula is located on the lateral (outside) of the tibia, slightly posterior (to the back) and offsets a little below. The proximal (top) end of the fibula is articulated with the lateral condyle of the tibia, just below the knee.
The distal end of the fibula forms the lateral malleolus of the lower limb. This is a bony projection noted on the lateral surface of the ankle, which is complementary to another bony projection on the medial aspect of the ankle called the medial malleolus (formed by the tibia).
A fracture through the proximal or diaphysis (shaft) of the fibula, which is a non-weight-bearing bone of the lower leg.
What's A fibula? A lower-leg bone that extends from the knee to the outside of the ankle parallel to the tibia (shinbone). It stabilizes the ankle and supports lower-leg muscles. A severe ankle sprain can cause a fibula fracture.
A lateral malleolus fracture is a fracture of the fibula. There are different levels at which that the fibula can be fractured. The level of the fracture may direct the treatment.
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.
The Bosworth fracture is a rare fracture of the distal fibula with an associated fixed posterior dislocation of the proximal fibular fragment which becomes trapped behind the posterior tibial tubercle. The injury is caused by severe external rotation of the ankle.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code S82.401A and a single ICD9 code, 823.81 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
