2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S82. 86: Maisonneuve's fracture.
A Maisonneuve fracture is the result of two injuries that happen at the same time. The first is typically a very high break or fracture in the fibula — the smaller of the two bones between your ankle and your knee.

ICD-10-CM Code for Displaced fracture of lateral malleolus of left fibula, initial encounter for closed fracture S82. 62XA.
The Maisonneuve fracture is a spiral fracture of the proximal third of the fibula associated with a tear of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis and the interosseous membrane. There is an associated fracture of the medial malleolus or rupture of the deep deltoid ligament of the ankle.
Injury: Maisonneuve fractures are a result of external rotation of a planted foot, most often with pronation of the foot. This extreme force places significant strain on the bones and ligaments that make up the ankle joint and often results in instability.

CPT® Code 27786 in section: Closed treatment of distal fibular fracture (lateral malleolus)
Abstract. 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.
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.
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.
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.
A Maisonneuve fracture is a specific type of ankle fracture that occurs when the ankle is forcefully twisted outwards (external rotation). The fracture is important because treatment almost always requires surgery, and without a careful examination of the ankle (and the knee), it's possible to misdiagnose this injury.
Stretching and strengthening exercises will allow the patient to return to gradual weight bearing activity at around 8-12 weeks and full weight bearing around 16 weeks. Return to sport after a maisonneuve fracture with rehabilitation occurs generally within a time frame of about 20-24 weeks.
How are these injuries treated? Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) are the first steps following an ankle injury. After that, treatment depends on the specifics of the injury. Recovery time following syndesmosis sprain can take twice as long as recovery from other ankle sprains.
A syndesmosis joint is a fibrous joint where two bones are connected by strong ligaments or membrane.
