Nondisp fx of unsp tibial spin, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a fracture of the tibial spine that is not displaced and the specific location within the tibial spine is not documented. The fracture is currently undergoing routine healing and has not broken through the skin.

This code is appropriate for patients returning for routine follow-up appointments (e.g., cast changes, physical therapy evaluations, or repeat imaging) for a previously diagnosed closed, nondisplaced tibial spine fracture. It indicates that the healing process is progressing as expected without complications.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "closed fracture" for accurate code assignment.
• The 7th character "D" indicates subsequent care for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion.
• If the specific tibial spine (medial or lateral) is known, a more specific code should be used.
