Nondisp fx of l tibial spin, 7thN

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a patient with a left tibial spine fracture that was initially an open fracture (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) and is now complicated by nonunion. The fracture itself remains nondisplaced, indicating the bone fragments are still in their anatomical alignment despite the healing complication.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing treatment for a previously diagnosed open left tibial spine fracture that has failed to heal properly (nonunion). This would include visits for monitoring, further diagnostic workup, or planning for interventions related to the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "left tibial spine" for accurate site and displacement.
• Confirm the initial injury was an "open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC" and that "nonunion" is explicitly documented.
• This code is for a "subsequent encounter," so it should not be used for the initial treatment of the fracture.
