Lateral ligament injuries are perhaps one of the most common sports-related injuries seen by physiotherapists. Lateral ankle sprains are thought to be suffered by men and women at approximately the same rates; however, it is suggested that female interscholastic and intercollegiate basketball players have a 25% greater risk of incurring grade I. ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016 ICD Code S93.412 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use specify a 7th character that describes the diagnosis 'sprain of calcaneofibular ligament of left ankle' in more detail.

There are many different muscles and ligaments in the ankle, which gives the ankle its strength, flexibility, and range of motion.

Major ligaments of the ankle

Anterior and posterior ankle ligaments.

Ligaments are a type of soft tissue that is made up mostly of collagen. Ligaments have low vascularity, which means they do not receive much blood flow. This lack of blood flow makes ligaments slower to heal than other types of soft tissue.

Unlike tendons, which connect muscle to bone, ligaments connect bones to other bones.

There are several major ligaments in the ankle:

• Three ligaments on the outside of the ankle that make up the lateral ligament complex, as follows:
• The anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), which connects the front of the talus bone to a long bone in the lower leg called the fibula
• The calcaneofibular ligament (CFL), which connects the calcaneus, or heel bone, to the fibula
• The posterior talofibular ligament (PTFL), which connects the rear of the talus bone to the fibula
• The deltoid ligament, a thick ligament which supports the entire medial, or inner, side of the ankle
• The anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL), which connects the tibia to the fibula
• Two posterior fibular ligaments, which crisscross the back of the tibia and fibula:
• The posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (PITFL)
• The transverse ligament
• The interosseous ligament, which rests between the tibia and fibula and runs the entire length of the tibia and fibula, from the ankle to the knee

The various ligaments that surround the ankle together help form part of the joint capsule, a fluid-filled sac that surrounds and lubricates articulating joints.

Major muscles of the ankle

There are also multiple muscles in the ankle that can be strained, as follows:

• The peroneal muscles (peroneus longus and peroneus brevis), on the outside edge of the ankle and foot. These muscles allow the ankle to bend downward and outward.

See Common Running Injuries: Foot Pain

• The calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus), which are connected to the calcaneus via the Achilles tendon. The tightening and relaxing of the calf muscles enables the ankle to bend downward and upward.

See Common Running Injuries: Calf and Shin Pain

• The posterior tibialis muscle, which supports the arch of the foot and enables the foot to turn inward.
• The anterior tibialis muscle, which enables the ankle and foot to turn upward.¹

The complexity of the ankle's muscular and ligament structure creates many possible opportunities for injuries when the ankle is pushed beyond its normal range of motion.

NON-BILLABLE7th Character Required|ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

ICD Code S93.412 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use specify a 7th character that describes the diagnosis 'sprain of calcaneofibular ligament of left ankle' in more detail. The 7th characters that can be added, and the resulting billable codes, are as follows:

7th Digit	Billable Code	7th Digit Specifies
A	S93.412A	initial encounter
D	S93.412D	subsequent encounter
S	S93.412S	sequela

What is 7th Character Extension?

For codes less than 6 characters that require a 7th character a placeholder 'X' should be assigned for all characters less than 6. The 7th character must always be the 7th position of a code. E.g. The ICD-10-CM code T67.4 (Heat exhaustion due to salt depletion) requires an Episode of Care identifier. T67.4XXA Initial Encounter or T67.4XXD Subsequent Encounter. More Info

The ICD code S934 is used to code Sprained ankle

A sprained ankle, also known as an ankle sprain, twisted ankle, rolled ankle, floppy ankle, ankle injury or ankle ligament injury, is a common medical condition where one or more of the ligaments of the ankle is torn or partially torn.
