Nondisp spiral fx shaft of l fibula, 7thB

This code describes a fracture of the left fibula's shaft that follows a spiral pattern, meaning the fracture line twists around the bone. The bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment (nondisplaced), and the fracture is open, indicating a break in the skin communicating with the fracture site, classified as Type I or II according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification.

Use this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, acute spiral fracture of the shaft of the left fibula where the fracture is nondisplaced and there is an associated open wound classified as Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II. This code is appropriate for the initial treatment encounter for this specific injury.

• Confirm the fracture is specifically of the fibula shaft, not the malleolus or other fibular regions.
• Verify documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "spiral" fracture morphology.
• Ensure the open fracture is classified as Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II; different types require different codes.
