ankle impingement
Our podiatrist calls this disorder os trigonum syndrome; tho there really is no ICD-9 code for this; it is based primarily on clinical Hx and PE. Depending on the signs and symptoms I have used just the pain 729.5 code or have used 729.90 or 726.71 in the past. You might want to see what others have to say.

I am thinking in the research I have done that 726.79 might be a better code. or 719.57 if it is more referring to stiffness.
