Fracture of corpus cavernosum penis, subsequent encounter

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a previously diagnosed fracture of the corpus cavernosum, which is the erectile tissue within the penis. This injury typically results from blunt trauma during sexual activity or other forceful bending of the erect penis, leading to a tear in the tunica albuginea.

Apply this code for any subsequent visit related to the management, healing, or complications of a corpus cavernosum fracture. This includes follow-up appointments for wound care, monitoring of healing, assessment of erectile function, or management of post-surgical complications.

• Ensure documentation clearly indicates a "subsequent encounter" for the fracture.
• Do not use for the initial diagnosis of the fracture; a different code applies for the initial encounter.
• Always code any associated complications or sequelae, such as erectile dysfunction, separately.
