ICD-10-CM Code for Nondisplaced fracture of medial malleolus of left tibia S82. 55.
You probably know the medial malleolus as the bump that protrudes on the inner side of your ankle. It's actually not a separate bone, but the end of your larger leg bone — the tibia, or shinbone. The medial malleolus is the largest of the three bone segments that form your ankle.
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 involve the articular surface of the ankle joint, which is where the bones meet in the joint. The break may occur by itself but it normally accompanies injuries to the outside of the ankle or a fibula fracture of the smaller of the two lower leg bones.
The medial malleolus and lateral malleolus are bones located in the lower part of your extremities. The medial malleolus is formed by the lower part of your tibia and makes up the inner side of the ankle. The lateral malleolus is formed by the lower section of the fibula and makes up the outer side of the ankle.
Each leg is supported by two bones, the tibia on the inner side (medial) of the leg and the fibula on the outer side (lateral) of the leg. The medial malleolus is the prominence on the inner side of the ankle, formed by the lower end of the tibia....MalleolusTA21421, 1442Anatomical terms of bone6 more rows
a : the expanded lower end of the fibula situated on the lateral side of the leg at the ankle. — called also external malleolus, lateral malleolus. b : a strong pyramid-shaped process of the tibia that projects distally on the medial side of its lower end at the ankle.

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.
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. Different levels of lateral malleolus fractures.
12.4. Also known as the talocrural joint, it is composed of the talus of the foot and the tibia and fibula of the leg. The distal end of the fibula is known as the lateral malleolus, while the distal end of the tibia is referred to as the medial malleolus.
Also known as the talocrural joint, it is composed of the talus of the foot and the tibia and fibula of the leg. The distal end of the fibula is known as the lateral malleolus, while the distal end of the tibia is referred to as the medial malleolus.
The medial malleolus is an anatomical landmark located on the fibula. Dorsiflexion is the dorsal aspect of the foot moving toward the anterior tibia. Inversion is turning the ankle and foot outward away from the midline of the body where the weight is on medial edge of foot.
The lateral malleolus is at the end of the fibula, a smaller bone in the leg.
Medical Definition of malleolus : an expanded projection or process at the distal end of the fibula or tibia at the level of the ankle: a : the expanded lower end of the fibula situated on the lateral side of the leg at the ankle. — called also external malleolus, lateral malleolus.
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
