Disp fx of l tibial tuberosity, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient with a left tibial tuberosity fracture that was initially displaced. The fracture is currently being managed non-surgically (closed) and is progressing through a normal healing process.

Apply this code for subsequent visits where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed, displaced, closed fracture of the left tibial tuberosity that is healing routinely. This would include office visits for cast checks, physical therapy evaluations, or imaging to monitor healing progress.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the left tibial tuberosity and was initially displaced.
• Confirm the healing is routine and not complicated by delayed union, nonunion, or malunion.
