Nondisp Maisonneuve's fx r leg, 7thJ

This code describes a specific type of ankle fracture involving a spiral fracture of the proximal fibula with an associated ankle injury (Maisonneuve's fracture) in the right leg. The fracture is nondisplaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. This particular encounter is for an open fracture (skin broken) that is experiencing delayed healing.

This code is used when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced Maisonneuve's fracture of the right leg, which was initially an open fracture of type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, presents for follow-up care due to delayed healing. This indicates the fracture is not progressing to union at the expected rate.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "right leg" for the Maisonneuve's fracture.
• Verify the original fracture was classified as an open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• Confirm the encounter is for delayed healing, not routine follow-up or active treatment of a new complication.
