S82.55XA is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Nondisplaced fracture of medial malleolus of left tibia, initial encounter for closed fracture . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM S82.6 became effective on October 1, 2020. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S82.6 - other international versions of ICD-10 S82.6 may differ. Type 1 Excludes pilon fracture of distal tibia (
The ICD code S826 is used to code Wagstaffe-Le Fort avulsion fracture. 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. Source: Wikipedia.

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. It is the most common type of ankle fracture and may happen when the foot rolls or twists.
The bony knobs on the inside and outside of the ankle are called the malleoli, which is the plural form of malleolus. The knob on the outside of the ankle, the lateral malleolus, is the end of the fibula, the smaller bone in the lower leg.
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.
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 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
Anatomy and biomechanics The ankle joint is a complex ginglymoid joint, both the bony architecture and osseo-ligamentous complexes contribute to its stability. The posterior malleolus (PM) is the posterior lip of the plafond contributing to its concave shape, conferring congruency and stability to 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.
The lateral malleolus is the distal end of the fibula, whereas the medial and posterior malleoli are part of the tibia.
The medial Malleolus is a part of the tibia's base. Posterior Malleolus: Felt on the back of your ankle and is also a part of the base of the tibia. Lateral Malleolus: Bony protrusion felt on the outside of the ankle. The lateral Malleolus is the low end of the Fibula.
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.
the process at the medial side of the lower end of the tibia, forming the projection of the medial side of the ankle; the medial malleolus lies superior to the level of the lateral malleolus.
The medial malleolus, formed by the tibia, is found on the inside of the ankle. Posterior malleolus, also formed by the tibia, is found at the back of the ankle. Lateral malleolus, formed by the fibula, is found on the outer aspect of the ankle.
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
Type-1 Excludes mean the conditions excluded are mutually exclusive and should never be coded together. Excludes 1 means "do not code here."
