Is tibial tubercle the same as tibial tuberosity?

The tuberosity of the tibia or tibial tuberosity or tibial tubercle is an elevation on the proximal, anterior aspect of the tibia, just below where the anterior surfaces of the lateral and medial tibial condyles end.

What is the ICD-10 code for status post Orif?

ICD-10 Code for Encounter for other orthopedic aftercare- Z47. 89- Codify by AAPC.

What is the tibia tubercle?

The tibial tubercle is the secondary ossification center of the proximal tibia. The primary ossification center is the tibial epiphysis, and the tibial tubercle extends distally from the anterior aspect of the proximal epiphysis and serves as the point of attachment of the patellar tendon.

What is a tibial tubercle fracture?

Tibial tubercle avulsion fractures are an uncommon injury occurring due to strong contraction of the quadriceps femoris muscle during leg extension, ultimately causing failure of the physis at the patellar tendon insertion.

How do you code ORIF?

79.35 Open reduction of fracture with internal fixation, femur.

Is an ORIF a joint replacement?

ORIF utilizes open surgery to set the fracture followed by the use of plates, pins, and screws to hold the bones in place. THA involves surgically removing both the femoral head and acetabular cartilage, and replacing them with an artificial femoral head and acetabular cup.

What is tibial tubercle transfer surgery?

Tibial tubercle transfer, also called bony realignment or osteotomy, is a surgical treatment option for instability, arthritis or cartilage defects affecting the patellofemoral joint (kneecap and femur).

Is tubercle and tuberosity the same?

Tubercle vs tuberosity Tubercles and tuberosities are subtly different structures which are often confused. A tubercle is a small rounded prominence, often a site of tendon or ligament attachment e.g. adductor tubercle of the femur. A tuberosity is larger, found in varying shapes and often rough in texture.

What is tibial tubercle Distalization?

Tibial tuberosity distalization improves patella tracking by decreasing lateral patellar maltracking at lower flexion angles. Additionally, this improved tracking is also associated with a reduction in peak patella contact pressure at low flexion angles.

What is the CPT code for ORIF of the tibial tubercle?

True Blue. avulsion fractures of the tibial tubercle, 27540 looks to be a good code for the ORIF of it.

Where is tibial tuberosity located?

The tibial tuberosity is a palpable bony prominence located on the anterior surface of the proximal shaft of the tibia. On the posterior aspect of the tibia, the soleal line runs diagonally in a distal-to-medial direction across the proximal third of the tibia.

Can you break your tibial tubercle?

Tibial tubercle (tuberosity) fractures are infrequent fractures affecting physically active adolescents. Activities involving powerful contraction of the knee extensors, such as springing and jumping movements, can result in avulsion fractures of the tibial tuberosity apophysis.

The ICD code S821 is used to code Bumper fracture

A Bumper fracture is a fracture of the lateral tibial plateau caused by a forced valgus applied to the knee. This causes the lateral part of the distal femur and the lateral tibial plateau to come into contact, compressing the tibial plateau and causing the tibia to fracture.
