Does "other fracture of upper and lower end of fibula" mean the fibula is broken in 2 spots? How do you code for example, a nondisplaced transverse fracture of right fibular head. It's frustrating/confusing to have upper end of tibia fracture codes, but not for fibula. Thanks!
 
I'm getting S82.424A Nondisplaced transverse fracture of shaft of right fibula, initial encounter. I agree on the strange "upper and lower" code which I do come across with at times. Hope someone sheds more light on this!
