What Are Plantar Plate Tears? Through chronic microtrauma, sports injury or dynamic imbalance, the connective tissue running through the sole of the foot can become inflamed, stretched or torn. These plate tears can result in pain in the ball of the foot, joint instability, crossover toes, or dislocations.
There is no plantar plate repair CPT code, so it is incumbent upon you to decide what best represents your procedure and if none of the options are pertinent, then you must use CPT 28899. The coding of a plantar plate repair is based on what was actually repaired and documented.
Your plantar plate is a thick ligament that runs along the ball of your foot, connecting to the joints. The plantar plate is designed to protect the head of the metatarsal (the long bones of the foot) from excess pressure, preventing our toes from spreading too far apart, and prevent the overextension of our toes.

There is no specific CPT or ICD-10 code for a plantar plate tear.
28308: Osteotomy, with or without lengthening, shortening or angular correction, metatarsal; other than first metatarsal, each.
At its proximal aspect, the plantar plate is attached to the deep slips of the plantar fascia (i.e. central component of the plantar aponeurosis) and functionally, we may consider it to act as a distal extension of the plantar fascia.
deep transverse metatarsal ligamentAttached to both the medial and lateral aspect of the plantar plate is the deep transverse metatarsal ligament which functions to tether each plantar plate of a lesser metatarsal to the adjacent lesser metatarsal's plantar plate.
Aside from pain of palpation of the joint, perform a Lachman test to assess for a plantar plate tear. With this test, pull the proximal phalanx dorsally with a stabilized metatarsal. More than 2 mm of displacement of the phalanx indicates a plantar plate rupture or insufficiency.
The metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP) is located in the forefoot where the metatarsal and phalanx bones meet. Synovitis is a swelling of the joint lining. MTP synovitis is a common disorder caused by excessive stress on that joint, usually exacerbated by activity.
Turf toe typically happens when you have your toe planted on the ground and your heel raised. Turf toe occurs if you apply a force to your toe that makes it angle upwards more than it should. For example, it may happen if you are pushing off from a sprint and your toe gets stuck on the ground.
W22.8XXAICD-10 code W22. 8XXA for Striking against or struck by other objects, initial encounter is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Other external causes of accidental injury .
Metatarsals are portions of the bones of the mid-foot and are adjusted in shape. They are named by numbers and begin from the normal side outward. The normal side could be a comparable side as the colossal toe.
Given beneath is the rundown of ICD-10 codes for Metatarsal fracture ICD-10 of left foot, right foot and, first metatarsal break and fifth metatarsal fracture, respectively
The first metatarsal is the least regularly cracked metatarsal. The first metatarsal head bears double the heaviness of other metatarsal heads. Treat insignificantly uprooted or non displaced breaks with immobilization without weight-bearing. Uprooted cracks as a rule require open decrease and inside fixation.
Metatarsal bones are in the midfoot, simply behind the phalanges (toes). The fifth metatarsal bone lies on the external edge of your foot and interfaces with your little toe. The metatarsals bend up and give your foot its curve.
Fifth metatarsal breaks are by and large the aftereffect of injury to the foot, caused either by a hard impact or a rotational (bending) injury.
There are five metatarsal bones, numbered one to five from the hallux (uncommon toe) to the small toe.
The five metatarsal bones are numbered from one through five, medially to along the side, starting at the hallux (exceptional toe). Each one of the metatarsal bones communicates proximally with a tarsal bone and distally to one of the five phalanges of the foot, making the metatarsophalangeal (TMP) joint.
