Nondisp Maisonneuve's fx unsp leg, 7thH

This code signifies a fracture of the fibula, specifically a Maisonneuve's fracture, which is nondisplaced and involves an open wound (Type I or II) that is not healing as expected. A Maisonneuve's fracture is a spiral fracture of the proximal fibula associated with a tear of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis and often a medial malleolar fracture or deltoid ligament rupture. The "subsequent encounter" indicates ongoing treatment for this previously diagnosed injury.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient is receiving care for a nondisplaced Maisonneuve's fracture of an unspecified leg, and the fracture is an open type I or II that is experiencing delayed healing. This applies when the patient is beyond the initial acute treatment phase but still requires medical attention for the fracture and its associated complications.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "Maisonneuve's fracture" along with the open fracture type.
• Verify that the encounter is for ongoing care and not the initial treatment of the fracture.
• Confirm that the medical record explicitly states "delayed healing" for the open fracture.
