Displ trimalleol fx unsp low leg, 7thD

This code signifies a complex ankle fracture involving all three malleoli (medial, lateral, and posterior) that is no longer in its anatomical position. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is being managed non-surgically (closed treatment) with an expected normal healing progression.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced trimalleolar fracture of an unspecified lower leg is receiving ongoing conservative management. This includes office visits for cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy evaluations during the routine healing period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "subsequent encounter" and "routine healing" for a closed fracture.
• Do not use for initial treatment or if the healing is complicated or delayed.
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly described as "trimalleolar" and "displaced."
