Nondisp Maisonneuve's fx r leg, 7thD

This code describes a follow-up encounter for a Maisonneuve's fracture of the right leg, which is a specific type of ankle fracture involving a spiral fracture of the proximal fibula with an associated ankle injury. In this case, the fracture is nondisplaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment, and the healing process is progressing routinely without complications.

Use this code for patients presenting for routine follow-up care of a previously diagnosed and treated nondisplaced Maisonneuve's fracture of the right leg. This applies when the fracture is healing as expected and there are no signs of delayed union, nonunion, or other complications. This code is appropriate for subsequent cast changes, follow-up X-rays, or physical therapy evaluations during the routine healing phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right leg" for accurate code assignment.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or encounters for delayed/nonunion.
• Always review the entire medical record to confirm the fracture type, displacement, laterality, and encounter type.
