Nondisp bimalleol fx r low leg, 7thE

This code signifies a bimalleolar fracture of the right lower leg that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. It specifically indicates an open fracture of Type I or II, where the skin was broken, and the patient is now in a subsequent phase of care with expected routine healing.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters of a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced bimalleolar open fracture (Type I or II) of the right lower leg. This is appropriate when the fracture is healing as expected without complications. This code would be used after the initial treatment phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "bimalleolar" for the right lower leg.
• Verify the fracture was initially an open fracture, classified as Type I or II.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care and that healing is progressing routinely.
