Displaced fracture of medial malleolus of right tibia, initial encounter for closed fracture. S82. 51XA 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.
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.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S62. 329B: Displaced fracture of shaft of unspecified metacarpal bone, initial encounter for open fracture.
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.
The tibia and fibula have specific parts that make up the ankle: Medial malleolus - inside part of the tibia. Posterior malleolus - back part of the tibia.
Open: You should report 27766 (Open treatment of medial malleolus fracture, includes internal fixation when performed) when the orthopedist uses an open method to treat the fracture.
Displaced fractures: A gap forms where the bone breaks. Often, this injury requires surgery to fix. Partial fractures: The break doesn't go all the way through the bone. Stress fractures: The bone gets a crack in it, which is sometimes tough to find with imaging.
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
Displaced fracture of epiphysis (separation) (upper) of unspecified femur, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II. S72. 023B 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 S72.
Comminuted fractures are a type of broken bone. The term comminuted fracture refers to a bone that is broken in at least two places. Comminuted fractures are caused by severe traumas like car accidents. You will need surgery to repair your bone, and recovery can take a year or longer.
A tuft fracture is frequently an open fracture due to its common association with injury to the surrounding soft tissues or nail bed. Even without surrounding soft tissue injury, the fracture is considered open in the presence of a nail bed injury.
A posterior malleolus fracture is a fracture of the back of the tibia at the ankle joint. In most cases of posterior malleolus fracture, the lateral malleolus (fibula) is also fractured. This is because it shares ligament attachments with the posterior malleolus. There can also be a fracture of the medial malleolus.
distal tibiaThe large expansion found on the medial side of the distal tibia is the medial malleolus (“little hammer”). This forms the large bony bump found on the medial side of the ankle region.
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.
The medial malleolus on the inner side of the ankle at the end of the tibia. The lateral malleolus on the outer side of the ankle at the end of the fibula. The posterior malleolus situated on the lower back side of the tibia.

For example, CPT 28740 is for fusion of a single midtarsal or tarsometatarsal joint. There is also CPT 28730 for fusion of multiple (or transverse) midtarsal or tarsometatarsal joints.

You may walk on the foot as comfort allows although you will find it easier to walk with crutches in the early stages. The swelling is often worse at the end of the day and elevating it will help. The boot you have been given is for your comfort only and is not needed to aid fracture healing.
While it heals, support may be rendered by wearing a high-top tennis shoe, or a short leg cast. Some doctors allow patients to immediately walk on the affected leg. Some may recommend holding out for six weeks. If the ankle is unstable or the bones are out of place, the fracture may need to be treated with surgery.
The medial malleolus is the bony bump on the inner side of the ankle. This is the end of the shinbone (tibia) and forms the support for the inner side of the ankle joint. The medial malleolus is also the attachment of the major ligament on the inner side of the ankle, called the deltoid ligament.
The medial malleolus is the medial projection of bone from the distal tibia. The lateral malleolus projects laterally from the distal fibula (Fig. 11.3). Both malleoli serve as the proximal attachments for the collateral ligaments of the ankle.
