Nondisp fx of med malleolus of l tibia, 7thM

This code signifies a non-displaced fracture of the medial malleolus in the left tibia that has not healed properly (nonunion). It specifically applies to a subsequent encounter for an open fracture initially classified as Type I or II, indicating a break in the skin with minimal to moderate soft tissue damage.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed open medial malleolus fracture (Type I or II) of the left tibia that has failed to unite. It would be used when the fracture remains non-displaced and the focus of the encounter is on managing the nonunion.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment.
• Verify the original fracture was an open Type I or II.
• Confirm the fracture is specifically of the medial malleolus of the left tibia and is non-displaced.
