Nondisp trimalleol fx l low leg, 7thE

This code signifies a left lower leg fracture involving all three malleoli (medial, lateral, and posterior) that is not displaced. It specifically applies to a subsequent encounter for an open fracture (Type I or II) that is healing routinely.

Apply this code for follow-up visits where a patient is recovering from a surgically treated or managed open trimalleolar fracture of the left lower leg, and the healing process is progressing as expected without complications. This would include cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy evaluations during the healing phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "trimalleolar" for the left lower leg.
• Confirm the encounter is "subsequent" and the initial injury was an "open fracture type I or II" with "routine healing."
• Do not use for initial treatment, malunion, nonunion, or delayed healing.
