Nondisp Maisonneuve's fx r leg, 7thE

This code signifies a specific type of ankle fracture involving the fibula, often associated with a tear of the deltoid ligament and widening of the ankle mortise, but without displacement of the bone fragments. It indicates that the patient is in a later stage of recovery for an open fracture (where the skin was broken) that is healing as expected.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a Maisonneuve's fracture of the right leg that was initially an open fracture of Type I or II. This is appropriate when the fracture is healing routinely and the patient is past the initial active treatment phase.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies the "right leg."
• Verify the encounter is for subsequent care, not initial treatment, and that healing is routine.
• Confirm the original injury was an open fracture, specifically Type I or II, as this impacts the seventh character.
