Please can somebody help me clarify which one should I code if the Dr says that the xray fracture shown:Bimalleolar fr (824.4) with posterior and lateral malleolus fr as well as dislocation but the diagnosis he documented is just Left ankle fracture and dislocation (824.8)?
I'm confused on this one.
