Avulsion fracture (chip fracture) of talus The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S92. 15 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S92.
Avulsion fractures. A talar avulsion fracture occurs when a small part of your talus bone pulls away from the rest of the bone where it's attached to a ligament or tendon.
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.
The talus is the bone that makes up the lower part of the ankle joint (the tibia and fibula make up the upper part). The ankle joint allows your foot to move up and down. The talus also sits above the heel bone (calcaneus). Together, the talus and calcaneus form the subtalar joint.
A fracture is a break or crack in a bone that often results from an injury. With an avulsion fracture, an injury to the bone occurs near where the bone attaches to a tendon or ligament. When the fracture happens, the tendon or ligament pulls away, and a small piece of bone pulls away with it.
An avulsion fracture occurs when a tendon or ligament that is attached to the bone pulls a piece of the fractured bone off. Avulsion fractures can happen anywhere in the body but are most common in the ankle, hip, finger, and foot. They are more common in children than adults, but often affect adults who play sports.
Often an avulsion fracture occurs when there is a sudden forceful pull on a tendon while the bone is moving in the opposite direction. An example is an injury to the fifth metatarsal, the bone on the outside of the midfoot.
The talus is a small bone that sits between the heel bone (calcaneus) and the two bones of the lower leg (the tibia and fibula). It has an irregular, humped shape like a turtle's shell. The bones of the lower leg ride on top and around the sides to form the ankle joint.
a forcible separation or detachmentDefinition of avulsion : a forcible separation or detachment: such as. a : a tearing away of a body part accidentally or surgically. b : a sudden cutting off of land by flood, currents, or change in course of a body of water especially : one separating land from one person's property and joining it to another's.
The talus (plural: tali 4), also known as the astragalus 4, is a tarsal bone in the hindfoot that articulates with the tibia, fibula, calcaneus, and navicular bones. It has no muscular attachments and around 60% of its surface is covered by articular cartilage.
The talus is the second largest of the tarsal bones; it is also one of the bones in the human body with the highest percentage of its surface area covered by articular cartilage.
The talus is composed of a body, neck and head, and posterior and lateral processes. The talar body is wedge-shaped, wider anteriorly than posteriorly and largely covered by articular cartilage.
Healing: It normally takes 6 weeks for this fracture to heal. Smoking will slow down your healing. We would advise that you stop smoking while your fracture heals.
An avulsion fracture is a serious injury that can stop you from playing your favorite sports. You'll need a cast and rest, and possibly surgery. You should follow up with your healthcare providers for help.
Most of the healing happens between six to 12 weeks, but can take several months for your symptoms to completely settle. It is not unusual to have aches and discomfort beyond this, often when you do activities you haven't done for a while. Sometimes the area is more sensitive for months and this is normal.
WHAT IS A FOOT AVULSION FRACTURE? A foot avulsion fracture is when a small piece of bone has been pulled away (usually by a ligament) from the bone of your foot. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECOVER? This type of fracture usually heals within six weeks and does not require surgery.
