Fibular head fractures: These are fractures seen at the knee portion of the fibula bone. Avulsion fractures: These fractures take place when a part of the bone is pulled away by the tendon or ligament attached to it.

2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S89. 301A: Unspecified physeal fracture of lower end of right fibula, initial encounter for closed fracture.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S82. 831A: Other fracture of upper and lower end of right fibula, initial encounter for closed fracture.
Anatomy Explorer At the fibula's proximal end, just below the knee, is a slightly rounded enlargement known as the head of the fibula. The head of the fibula forms the proximal (superior) tibiofibular joint with the lateral edge of the tibia.
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.
ankleThe 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).
The lateral malleolus is the distal end of the fibula, whereas the medial and posterior malleoli are part of the tibia.
fibula, outer of two bones of the lower leg or hind limb, presumably so named (fibula is Latin for “brooch”) because the inner bone, the tibia, and the fibula together resemble an ancient brooch, or pin. In humans the head of the fibula is joined to the head of the tibia by ligaments and does not form part of the knee.
ICD-10 code S52. 501A for Unspecified fracture of the lower end of right radius, initial encounter for closed fracture is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
The fibula is your calf bone. It's the smaller of the two bones in your lower leg. It gives your calf its structure and forms the top of your ankle. Your fibula also supports lots of important muscles, tendons, nerves and ligaments.
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.
