Nondisp Maisonneuve's fx l leg, 7thE

This code describes a Maisonneuve's fracture of the left leg where the bone fragments remain in their anatomical position (nondisplaced). It specifically indicates that this is an open fracture of type I or II, meaning there is a wound communicating with the fracture site, and the patient is in a subsequent phase of care with expected routine healing.

Use this code for follow-up encounters for a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced Maisonneuve's fracture of the left leg that was initially an open fracture (Type I or II). This applies when the fracture is healing as expected without complications. It would be appropriate for routine cast changes, follow-up X-rays, or physical therapy visits during the healing phase.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left leg" for accurate coding.
• Confirm the original injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that the current encounter is for "subsequent care with routine healing."
• Do not use this code if the fracture is displaced, on the right leg, a different type of open fracture, or experiencing delayed/nonunion healing.
