Nondisp fx of med malleolus of l tibia, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the inner ankle bone (medial malleolus) in the left lower leg that has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a later stage of care for this injury, and the fracture is healing slower than expected, but the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed, non-displaced left medial malleolus fracture that is not yet fully healed and is showing signs of delayed union. This would be used for subsequent visits after the initial treatment, where the fracture is still closed.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left" tibia and "medial malleolus."
• Verify the fracture is explicitly noted as "nondisplaced" and "closed."
• Confirm the encounter is for "delayed healing" and not routine follow-up or nonunion.
