What is a left distal fibula fracture?

Synopsis. Distal fibula fracture, the most common type of ankle fracture, is an isolated malleolar fracture (70% or greater); the majority of these are lateral malleolus fractures. Distal fibula fractures can affect adult patient of any age as well as children.Jun 28, 2018

Where is the distal fibula?

ankle
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).

What is a nondisplaced distal fibula fracture?

This is a basic article for medical students and other non-radiologists. Distal fibular fractures are the most common type at the ankle and are usually the result of an inversion injury with or without rotation. They are the extension of a lateral collateral ligament injury.Nov 16, 2021

What is an acute fracture of the distal fibula?

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.May 18, 2021

What is the ICD 10 code for right distal fibula fracture?

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.

What is the distal third of the fibula?

The distal ends of the fibula and tibia that overlap the talus are known as the malleoli (“little hammers”). The lateral malleolus is the distal end of the fibula, whereas the medial and posterior malleoli are part of the tibia.

What is a Weber a distal fibula fracture?

A Weber A is a simple fracture to the bottom part of the fibula (bone on the outer part of your leg). Fortunately, your fracture is minor and does not require an operation or plaster cast to treat it successfully. You will be given a special ankle support, which can be worn over your socks.

What is a Weber B distal fibula fracture?

Weber B fractures occur at the level of the tibiofibular ligaments, just above the talar dome, and happen primarily through a mechanism of ankle supination and external rotation (SER).Apr 14, 2020

How do you diagnose a fibula fracture?

[1] Technique The squeeze test compresses the proximal fibula against the tibia to assess the integrity of the bones, interosseus membrane, and syndesmotic ligaments. Pain occurs with fracture or diastasis and is considered positive.

How is a distal fibula fracture treated?

The general process for healing a fibula fracture is immobilization with a splint or cast for several weeks, after which you might get a walking boot to help you walk. Recovery time depends on factors such as: the severity of the injury and the presence of any other injury at the same time. your age.

What is distal tibiofibular syndesmosis?

Abstract. A syndesmosis is defined as a fibrous joint in which two adjacent bones are linked by a strong membrane or ligaments. This definition also applies for the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis, which is a syndesmotic joint formed by two bones and four ligaments.

What is lateral malleolus of left fibula?

The knob on the outside of the ankle, the lateral malleolus, is the end of the fibula, the smaller bone in the lower leg. When this part of the bone fractures, or breaks, it's called a lateral malleolar fracture.

The ICD code S824 is used to code Bosworth fracture

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.

Equivalent ICD-9 Codes GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

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 S82.402A and a single ICD9 code, 823.81 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
