A fracture, or break, in the shinbone just below the knee is called a proximal tibia fracture. The proximal tibia is the upper portion of the bone where it widens to help form the knee joint.

A tibial plateau fracture is a break of the larger lower leg bone below the knee that breaks into the knee joint itself. It is rare to only just break the bone. This is an injury that can involve the bone, meniscus, ligaments, muscles, tendons and skin around the knee.
The correct code is easily found by searching under the main term for the condition “fracture, traumatic” and the subterms “following insertion (intraoperative) (postoperative) of orthopedic implant, joint prosthesis or bone plate” and “femur.” This index entry directs the assignment of code M96.Aug 27, 2020

If a fracture is not specified as either open or closed, you must assume it is closed, as indicated by an instructional note at the beginning of ICD-9-CM chapter 17, in the Fractures section (categories 800-829).Mar 1, 2013
The tibia, or shinbone, is the most commonly fractured long bone in the body. A tibial shaft fracture occurs along the length of the bone, below the knee and above the ankle. It typically takes a major force to cause this type of broken leg.

Tibia and fibula are the two long bones located in the lower leg. The tibia is a larger bone on the inside, and the fibula is a smaller bone on the outside. The tibia is much thicker than the fibula. It is the main weight-bearing bone of the two.
