Displ Maisonneuve's fx r leg, 7thJ

This code describes a specific type of fracture involving the right lower leg, where there is a spiral fracture of the proximal fibula with an associated ankle injury (Maisonneuve's fracture). The fracture is displaced, meaning the bone fragments are not in their normal alignment, and it is an open fracture (skin broken) of a severe type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) that is not healing as expected.

Use this code for a patient presenting for follow-up care of a right Maisonneuve's fracture that was initially an open fracture of type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and is now demonstrating delayed healing. This applies when the patient is beyond the initial active treatment phase but the fracture has not yet united.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right leg" and "Maisonneuve's fracture" with displacement.
• Verify the original open fracture type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) and confirm delayed healing is documented.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; do not use for the initial treatment of the fracture.
