Code the following cases for inpatient facility purposes using ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM and PCS codes.
Calculate the MS-DRG.
Identify the Principal vs. Secondary diagnoses and procedures.
Use external cause codes when appropriate.
Do NOT code procedures that are captured by the facility chargemaster.
Secondary diagnoses and procedures do NOT need to be sequenced in any particular order. Enter "None" when no code is required.
If more than one occurrence of a procedure is required, report the code with "x 2""x 3" etc.

Small incision was made over the medial malleolus at the site of the previous incision. It was carried down through the subcutaneous tissues. Using fluoroscopy, the K-wire and the screw were identified, the deltoid ligament was sharply split, and the K-wire and the screw were removed. The split in the deltoid was then repaired using 2-0 Vicryl simple interrupted sutures. The skin was dosed using 3-0 Ethilon vertical mattress sutures.
