What is the ICD 10 code for calcaneal fracture?

ICD-10-CM Code for Fracture of calcaneus S92. 0.

What is calcaneal fracture?

A fracture of the calcaneus, or heel bone, can be a painful and disabling injury. This type of fracture commonly occurs during a high-energy event — such as a car crash or a fall from a ladder — when the heel is crushed under the weight of the body. When this occurs, the heel can widen, shorten, and become deformed.

What is a tongue type calcaneal fracture?

Tongue-type calcaneus fractures are longitudinal fractures that exit the calcaneal tuberosity posteriorly and involve a portion of the articular surface. They are often superiorly displaced because of the insertion of the Achilles tendon and pull of the gastroc-soleus complex.

What is left calcaneus?

What Is the Calcaneus? Calcaneal fractures occur on the calcaneus or heel bone, a large bone that forms the foundation of the rear part of the foot. The calcaneus connects with the talus and cuboid bones. The connection between the talus and calcaneus forms the subtalar joint.

What are the two most common types of calcaneal fractures?

Calcaneal fractures can be divided into two groups: intra-articular and extra-articular calcaneal fractures. Intra-articular fractures have a lower prognosis.

What type of bone is the calcaneal?

The calcaneus is an irregular bone, cuboid in shape whose superior surface can be divided into three areas - the posterior, middle and anterior aspects.

How do you treat a calcaneus fracture?

If the fracture has not displaced the bone, rest and partial to complete immobilization can heal the bone. Usually a cast of some sort is used to immobilize the heel. The time required to heal depends on age, degree of fracture and general health of the patient. Some such fractures take more than 6 months to heal.

What bones does the calcaneus articulate with?

The calcaneus is located in the hindfoot with the talus and is the largest bone of the foot. It is commonly referred to as the heel. It articulates with the talus superiorly and the cuboid anteriorly and shares a joint space with the talocalcaneonavicular joint.

Where is the calcaneal tuberosity?

On the lateral side is commonly a tubercle called the calcaneal tubercle (or trochlear process). This is a raised projection located between the tendons of the peroneus longus and brevis. It separates the two oblique grooves of the lateral surface of the calcaneus (for the tendons of the peroneal muscles).

What does calcaneal mean?

relating to the heelMedical Definition of calcaneal 1 : relating to the heel. 2 : relating to the calcaneus.

Is the calcaneus part of the ankle?

Calcaneus: the heel bone and the largest bone of the foot. Talus: also called the ankle bone, sits above the heel bone (calcaneus) and makes up the lower part of the ankle joint by connecting the tibia and fibula with the foot.

What is comminuted calcaneal fracture?

BDICs are highly comminuted calcaneal fractures that constitute the most severe portion of Sanders type IV calcaneal fractures. This type of injury features a significant loss of height, shortening and widening of the calcaneus, and the collapse of the articular surfaces, especially the posterior articular surface.

How long does a fractured calcaneus take to heal?

Some, but not all, calcaneus fractures require surgery. The broken bone will take 3-4 months to heal with or without surgery. If surgery is not needed, there will still be a time where movement and weight bearing is limited.

Can a calcaneus fracture heal on its own?

Yes a heel fracture can heal on its own, if you take the weight off the heel by using crutches or using a cast/boot the bone will heal if it is aligned correctly. If the fracture caused the bones to shift then you may need surgery to make sure the bones are aligned when it heals.

What does a calcaneal fracture feel like?

Symptoms. Some calcaneal fractures are obvious, resulting in an inability to put weight on the heel, swelling of the heel and bruising of the heel and ankle. Pain is usually severe enough to require an emergency room visit.

How do you fix a broken calcaneus?

In a classic "open" procedure, your surgeon will make an incision over your heel. The incision is likened to a hockey stick or large "L" where the overlying nerve and tendons are moved out of the way. The fracture fragments are restored to the best possible position and a plate and screws hold the fragments in place.

What is the ICD code for displaced fracture of the left calcaneus?

S92.012D is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of displaced fracture of body of left calcaneus, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.

What is a lover's fracture?

Calcaneal fracture, also known as lover's fracture and Don Juan fracture, is a fracture of the calcaneus. It is usually caused by a fall from height when one lands on their feet. These fractures represent approximately 2% of all fractures but 60% of tarsal bone fractures. The name lover's fracture is derived from the fact that a lover may jump from great heights while trying to escape from the lover's spouse.
