Nondisplaced Maisonneuve's fracture of right leg, init

This code signifies a specific type of ankle fracture involving the proximal fibula (near the knee) and disruption of the tibiofibular syndesmosis, without displacement of the bone fragments, occurring in the right leg. It is an indirect ankle injury resulting from external rotation and pronation forces.

Use this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, closed Maisonneuve's fracture of the right leg where the fracture fragments are in their anatomical position. This code is appropriate for the initial treatment period of the fracture.

• Confirm the fracture is nondisplaced and located in the right leg.
• Ensure this is the patient's first encounter for this specific fracture.
• Do not use for open fractures or subsequent encounters for healing or malunion.
