Nondisp fx of medial malleolus of left tibia, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a fracture of the inner ankle bone (medial malleolus) of the left tibia, where the bone fragments were not separated at the time of injury. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but there are lingering effects or complications.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with long-term issues directly attributable to a previously sustained, nondisplaced medial malleolar fracture of the left tibia. This includes chronic pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, or other sequelae after the fracture has clinically united. Do not use for the initial acute injury or during the active healing phase.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past nondisplaced medial malleolar fracture.
• Always use in conjunction with a code describing the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, osteoarthritis).
• Verify laterality (left) and the specific bone (tibia, medial malleolus) are accurately reflected.
