S90-S99: Injuries to the ankle and foot

The S90-S99 classification refers to a group of conditions associated with injuries of the ankle and foot. These injuries can arise from various circumstances such as accidents (like falls or sporting incidents), overuse or misuse, or as a result of underlying medical issues impacting bone strength or joint stability. Symptoms often include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty in movement or weight bearing, which vary depending on the severity and type of injury. The injuries encapsulated within this group can involve structures like bones (fractures), joints (sprains, dislocations), soft tissues (muscles, tendons, ligaments injuries) or skin (wounds, abrasions). Disease progression could involve acute inflammation and pain management stages, followed by repair and rehabilitation. These conditions primarily impact the musculoskeletal system and the patients’ mobility.
