Displ Maisonneuve's fx l leg, 7thE

This code describes a specific type of ankle fracture involving a spiral fracture of the proximal fibula with an associated injury to the medial ankle structures (deltoid ligament or medial malleolus), occurring in the left leg. The fracture is displaced, meaning the bone fragments are not in their normal alignment, and it was an open fracture (Type I or II) that is now in a subsequent phase of routine healing.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed and treated displaced Maisonneuve's fracture of the left leg. This applies when the initial injury was an open fracture (Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II) and the healing process is progressing as expected without complications. This code would be appropriate for encounters such as cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy sessions during the routine healing phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left leg" and "displaced" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the initial injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that healing is "routine."
• Do not use this code for initial encounters, non-union, malunion, or other healing complications.
