Nondisp trimalleol fx r low leg, 7thM

This code describes a situation where a patient has a trimalleolar fracture in their right lower leg that is not displaced. This specific code is used during a follow-up visit for an open fracture, classified as Type I or II, where the bone has failed to heal properly (nonunion).

Use this code for subsequent encounters when managing a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced trimalleolar fracture of the right lower leg that was initially an open fracture (Type I or II) and is now complicated by nonunion. This applies to ongoing care, such as cast changes, wound care, or evaluation for surgical intervention due to the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "right lower leg."
• Confirm the original injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that "nonunion" is explicitly documented.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter would use a different code.
