What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2007 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

  1. FY2007 Added to the draft code set draft Torus fracture of upper end of left fibula, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with delayed healing
  2. FY2012 Draft description revised draft Torus fracture of upper end of left fibula, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with delayed healing Torus fracture of upper end of left fibula, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
