ICD-10-CM Code S82.409A
Unspecified fracture of shaft of unspecified fibula, initial encounter for closed fracture
Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.S82.409A is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of unspecified fracture of shaft of unspecified fibula, initial encounter for closed fracture. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
The ICD code S824 is used to code Bosworth fracture
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.

Equivalent ICD-9 Codes GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)
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 S82.409A and a single ICD9 code, 823.81 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
