Displ Maisonneuve's fx unsp leg, 7thG

This code signifies a specific type of spiral fracture of the proximal fibula, often associated with an ankle injury, that has resulted in displacement. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for a fracture that is not healing at the expected rate.

Use this code for a patient presenting for ongoing management of a previously diagnosed, displaced Maisonneuve's fracture of an unspecified leg, where the fracture has not yet fully united and is exhibiting delayed healing. This would apply to follow-up appointments, cast changes, or imaging to assess healing progress.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for a closed fracture.
• Verify the fracture is specifically identified as a Maisonneuve's fracture and is displaced.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care, not initial treatment.
