S82. 54XA - Nondisplaced fracture of medial malleolus of right tibia [initial encounter for closed fracture] | ICD-10-CM.
When a medial malleolus fracture occurs by itself, it's called an “isolated” fracture. But a medial malleolus fracture is more often part of a compound injury involving one or both of the other ankle parts. It may also involve injury to a ligament of the leg.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S62. 329B: Displaced fracture of shaft of unspecified metacarpal bone, initial encounter for open fracture.
When you break the inner bone of your ankle, it is called a medial malleolus ankle fracture. The medial malleolus is an anatomical region of the tibia bone, which is the larger of the two lower leg bones. You can feel this area as the bump on the inner side of your ankle joint.
Displaced fractures: A gap forms where the bone breaks. Often, this injury requires surgery to fix. Partial fractures: The break doesn't go all the way through the bone. Stress fractures: The bone gets a crack in it, which is sometimes tough to find with imaging.
The medial malleolus is the prominence on the inner side of the ankle, formed by the lower end of the tibia. The lateral malleolus is the prominence on the outer side of the ankle, formed by the lower end of the fibula....MalleolusTA21421, 1442Anatomical terms of bone6 more rows
Displaced Fracture: bone breaks into two or more pieces and moves out of alignment. Non-Displaced Fracture: the bone breaks but does not move out of alignment. Closed Fracture: the skin is not broken.
Comminuted fractures are a type of broken bone. The term comminuted fracture refers to a bone that is broken in at least two places. Comminuted fractures are caused by severe traumas like car accidents. You will need surgery to repair your bone, and recovery can take a year or longer. Appointments 216.444.2606.
A tuft fracture is frequently an open fracture due to its common association with injury to the surrounding soft tissues or nail bed. Even without surrounding soft tissue injury, the fracture is considered open in the presence of a nail bed injury.
A posterior malleolus fracture is a fracture of the back of the tibia at the ankle joint. In most cases of posterior malleolus fracture, the lateral malleolus (fibula) is also fractured. This is because it shares ligament attachments with the posterior malleolus. There can also be a fracture of the medial malleolus.
The medial malleolus and lateral malleolus are bones located in the lower part of your extremities. The medial malleolus is formed by the lower part of your tibia and makes up the inner side of the ankle. The lateral malleolus is formed by the lower section of the fibula and makes up the outer side of the ankle.
Medial Malleolus: Bony bump on the inside of your ankle. The medial Malleolus is a part of the tibia's base. Posterior Malleolus: Felt on the back of your ankle and is also a part of the base of the tibia. Lateral Malleolus: Bony protrusion felt on the outside of the ankle.
