Disp fx of med malleolus of l tibia, 7thB

This code signifies a break in the inner ankle bone (medial malleolus) of the left leg, where the bone fragments are not properly aligned. The fracture has broken through the skin, but the wound is relatively clean and small (Type I or II open fracture).

This code is appropriate for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a displaced open fracture of the left medial malleolus, where the open wound is classified as Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II. It should be used for the first encounter where active treatment for the fracture is provided.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "left" medial malleolus.
• Verify the open fracture type (Gustilo-Anderson I or II) is clearly documented.
• This "X" placeholder indicates an initial encounter; subsequent care will require different seventh characters.
