Fracture of condylar process of right mandible, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the condylar process of the right mandible that is currently in the healing phase, progressing as expected without complications. It indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for a previously diagnosed and treated fracture of this specific anatomical site.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for a healing right mandibular condylar process fracture. Documentation should confirm routine healing, such as clinical notes indicating stable alignment, decreasing pain, or radiographic evidence of callus formation without signs of delayed union or nonunion.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right" mandible and "condylar process" to differentiate from other mandibular fracture sites.
• Verify that the encounter is for routine healing and not for complications, which would require a different seventh character.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter; the initial encounter for the acute fracture would use a different seventh character.
