Fracture of tibia or fibula following insertion of orthopedic implant, joint prosthesis, or bone plate, right leg. M96. 671 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 M96.
Synopsis. Distal fibula fracture, the most common type of ankle fracture, is an isolated malleolar fracture (70% or greater); the majority of these are lateral malleolus fractures. Distal fibula fractures can affect adult patient of any age as well as children.
What is a fractured tibia-fibula? A broken tibia-fibula is a fracture in the lower leg that happens when a fall or blow places more pressure on the bones than they can withstand. A tibia-fibula fracture is a serious injury that requires prompt immediate medical attention.
Unspecified fracture of shaft of unspecified tibia, initial encounter for closed fracture. S82. 209A 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 S82.
'When both the tibia and fibula are fractured, the index directs the clinical coder to assign a combined code. The exclusion at 'S82. 31 Fracture of lower end of tibia with fracture of fibula (any part)' directs the coder to 'S82. 5 Fracture of medial malleolus' if the medial malleolus is involved.
In ICD-10-CM a fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced, and a fracture not designated as open or closed should be coded to closed. While the classification defaults to displaced for fractures, it is very important that complete documentation is encouraged.
Fracture of lower leg, including ankle ICD-10-CM S82. 92XA is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):
891B.
The Bosworth fracture is a rare fracture of the distal fibula with an associated fixed posterior dislocation of the proximal fibular fragment which becomes trapped behind the posterior tibial tubercle. The injury is caused by severe external rotation of the ankle. The ankle remains externally rotated after the injury, making interpretation of X-rays difficult which can lead to misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment. The injury is most commonly treated by open reduction internal fixation as closed reduction is made difficult by the entrapment of the fibula behind the tibia.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code S82.442D and a single ICD9 code, V54.16 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
ICD Code S82.441 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use specify a 7th character that describes the diagnosis 'displaced spiral fracture of shaft of right fibula' in more detail. The 7th characters that can be added, and the resulting billable codes, are as follows:
