S93 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S93. Dislocation and sprain of joints and ligaments at ankle, foot and toe level 2016 2017 2018 2019 Non-Billable/Non-Specific Code. Code Also any associated open wound. Includes avulsion of joint or ligament of ankle, foot and toe.
A syndesmotic, or 'high' ankle sprain is one that involves the ligaments binding the distal tibia and fibula at the Distal Tibiofibular Syndesmosis. Injuries can occur with any ankle motion, but the most common motions are extreme external rotation or dorsiflexion of the Talus. What is a Trimalleolar fracture?
M65.872 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Other synovitis and tenosynovitis, left ankle and foot . It is found in the 2020 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2019 - Sep 30, 2020 .
Recovery time for syndesmotic sprain is considerably longer than severe nonsyndesmotic ankle sprain (55 versus 28 days). Often have asymptomatic interosseous calcification in the long term. (Hopkinson WJ, Foot Ankle 1990; 10: 325)

Abstract. Syndesmosis injuries occur when there is a disruption of the distal attachment of the tibia and fibula. These injuries occur commonly (up to 18% of ankle sprains), and the incidence increases in the setting of athletic activity. Recognition of these injuries is key to preventing long-term morbidity.
A syndesmosis is defined as a fibrous joint in which two adjacent bones are linked by a strong membrane or ligaments. This definition also applies for the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis, which is a syndesmotic joint formed by two bones and four ligaments.
Isolated syndesmosis injuries, commonly referred to as high ankle sprains, are relatively uncommon. 31. They are usually associated with other lesions of the lateral ankle ligaments and are present in up to 20% of all ankle sprains32,33 and about 5% will need surgery. 34.
The distal tibiofibular syndesmosis, between the fibula and tibia, is formed by three major ligaments: the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL), the posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (PITFL), and the interosseous tibiofibular ligament (ITFL).
A syndesmosis is a slightly mobile fibrous joint in which bones such as the tibia and fibula are joined together by connective tissue. An example is the distal tibiofibular joint. Injuries to the ankle syndesmosis are commonly known as a "high ankle sprain".
Its integrity is fundamental in allowing adequate function of the ankle (1). The tibiofibular syndesmosis has four ligaments: the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL), posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (PITFL), inferior transverse ligament (ITL), and interosseous ligament (IOL).
Syndesmoses are found between the bones of the forearm (radius and ulna) and the leg (tibia and fibula). Fibrous joints strongly unite adjacent bones and thus serve to provide protection for internal organs, strength to body regions, or weight-bearing stability.
At a syndesmosis joint, the bones are more widely separated but are held together by a narrow band of fibrous connective tissue called a ligament or a wide sheet of connective tissue called an interosseous membrane.
CAUSES: Injuries of the syndesmosis are commonly associated with ankle fractures. One or more of these four ligaments can be partially or completely ruptured (torn). Without fractures, sprains can occur when the foot is in an up position relative to the ankle and the leg (tibia) externally rotates.
The tibiofibular syndesmosis is a fibrous joint essential for ankle stability, whence the classical comparison with a mortise. Syndesmosis lesions are quite frequent in ankle trauma. This is a key element in ankle stability and lesions may cause pain or instability and, in the longer term, osteoarthritis.
