Most commonly, the talus breaks in its mid-portion, called the "neck." The neck is between the "body" of the talus, under the tibia, and the "head" of the talus, located further down the foot. The talus often breaks in the mid-portion — or "neck" — of the bone.

The fourth stage of the supination-external rotation (SER 4)1 type of ankle fracture consisting of a fibular fracture at the level of the syndesmosis and a medial malleolar fracture or a rupture of the deltoid ligament, is unstable. It is usually treated operatively.
CPT® Code 27786 in section: Closed treatment of distal fibular fracture (lateral malleolus)
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.

In ICD-10-CM a fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced, and a fracture not designated as open or closed should be coded to closed. While the classification defaults to displaced for fractures, it is very important that complete documentation is encouraged.

S42.455 is a non-billable ICD-10 code for Nondisplaced fracture of lateral condyle of left humerus. It should not be used for HIPAA-covered transactions as a more specific code is available to choose from below.
A “code also” note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction. The sequencing depends on the circumstances of the encounter.
A type 1 Excludes note is a pure excludes. It means 'NOT CODED HERE!' An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
