Displ Maisonneuve's fx unsp leg, 7thD

This code signifies a Maisonneuve's fracture, which is a specific type of ankle fracture involving a spiral fracture of the proximal fibula with an associated ankle injury (medial malleolus fracture and/or deltoid ligament rupture). The fracture is displaced, meaning the bone fragments are not in their normal alignment. This particular code is for a subsequent encounter where the closed fracture is healing routinely.

Use this code for follow-up visits after the initial treatment of a displaced Maisonneuve's fracture of an unspecified leg, when the fracture is closed and progressing through normal healing stages. This would apply to patients receiving cast care, boot immobilization, or post-surgical follow-up for a closed reduction, as long as healing is routine and no complications are present.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "displaced" and "Maisonneuve's fracture" for accurate code selection.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or encounters with delayed/nonunion.
• If the specific leg (left or right) is documented, a more specific code should be chosen.
