M25.572 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM M25.572 became effective on October 1, 2020.

After the surgeon reduced the fracture, an incision was made over the posterolateral border of the distal fibula and the syndesmotic injury was reduced into anatomical configuration. K-wire and screws were then placed across and through the syndesmosis to stabilize it.

What is the syndesmosis ligament? The syndesmosis is a fibrous joint held together by ligaments. It's located near the ankle joint, between the tibia, or shinbone, and the distal fibula, or outside leg bone. That's why it's also called the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis.
Definition/Description 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.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S93. 432A became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S93.
CPT 27829 was used to search for syndesmotic fixation, and CPT 20680 for implant removal. These codes were used individually and in combination.
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.
An interosseous membrane is a thick dense fibrous sheet of connective tissue that spans the space between two bones, forming a type of syndesmosis joint.
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.
A syndesmosis is defined as a fibrous joint in which two adjacent bones are linked by a strong membrane or ligaments.

The syndesmosis cannot be simply repaired by suturing ligaments together, so instead, the two bones of the leg are stabilized together to allow the syndesmosis to heal in the proper alignment – either by using one or two screws that span the fibula and tibia completely (called syndesmosis screws), or alternatively, by ...
