Nondisp fx of med malleolus of r tibia, 7thH

This code describes a nondisplaced fracture of the medial malleolus of the right tibia that was initially an open fracture (Type I or II) and is now in a subsequent encounter with delayed healing. The fracture itself is stable, but the healing process is prolonged, indicating ongoing medical management.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously open, nondisplaced right medial malleolus fracture is experiencing delayed bone healing. This applies when the initial injury was an open fracture of Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II, and the patient is still under active treatment for the fracture's delayed union.

• Ensure documentation specifies "delayed healing" for the fracture, not just routine follow-up.
• Verify the initial fracture was indeed an open fracture (Type I or II) as per the medical record.
• Confirm the fracture is of the medial malleolus of the right tibia.
