Displaced fracture of medial malleolus of left tibia, subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with routine healing Save
ICD-10 code: S82.52XF
Disease category: S82.52: Displaced fracture of medial malleolus of left tibia
Understanding Displaced Fracture of Medial Malleolus of Left Tibia
The medial malleolus is a bony protuberance on the inner side of the ankle joint, which forms part of the tibia bone. A displaced fracture of the medial malleolus of the left tibia occurs when the bone breaks and moves from its normal position.
This type of fracture usually occurs due to a severe injury or trauma, such as a fall, sports injury or a car accident. The symptoms of a displaced fracture of the medial malleolus of the left tibia may include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty in walking.
Subsequent Encounter for Open Fracture Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with Routine Healing
When a displaced fracture of the medial malleolus of the left tibia becomes an open fracture, it means that the bone has broken through the skin, leaving the wound open to the air. This can lead to a higher risk of infection and other complications.
A subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with routine healing refers to the follow-up appointments necessary to monitor the healing progress of the open fracture. During this stage, the healthcare provider will examine the wound, perform imaging tests such as X-rays, and possibly prescribe medication to manage pain and prevent infection.
Conclusion
Displaced fracture of the medial malleolus of the left tibia, subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with routine healing requires prompt medical attention to ensure proper healing and minimize the risk of complications. If you experience any symptoms of this type of fracture, seek medical attention immediately.
