Nondisp trimalleol fx r low leg, 7thH

This code describes a fracture involving all three malleoli (medial, lateral, and posterior) of the right lower leg, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. It specifically indicates an open fracture of Gustilo-Anderson type I or II that is not healing as expected in a subsequent encounter.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient is receiving ongoing treatment for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced trimalleolar fracture of the right lower leg. This applies when the initial injury was an open fracture (type I or II) and the healing process is prolonged or complicated, requiring continued medical attention.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right lower leg" for accuracy.
• Confirm the original injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that healing is "delayed."
• This code is for subsequent encounters; use an initial encounter code for the first presentation.
