Wiki maisonneuve injury

[jenmar]

Can someone help me out with a diagnosis code for a maisonneuve injury (ankle)? I'm not sure if there is a single code for this or if I need to use 2 or 3.
a high fibular fracture with a wide syndesmosis and a posterior lip fracture of the tibia
Thanks a bunch!!!

Tib Fib Fracture w/Syndesmosis

I believe I would code first the fracture:
Upper end Tib Fib Fracture 823.02
Syndesmosis; Distal tibiofibular 845.03
Sprain/Strain (Tear) of Ligment area around the fracture.
