Nondisp fx of r tibial tuberosity, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a patient who sustained a break in the bony prominence located on the front of the shin bone, just below the knee, specifically on the right side. The fracture has not shifted from its original position, and the bone is healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed, non-displaced right tibial tuberosity fracture that is healing routinely. This includes follow-up appointments for cast checks, physical therapy evaluations, or imaging to monitor healing progress, provided the fracture remains closed and uncomplicated.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right" tibial tuberosity and "nondisplaced" for accurate code assignment.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture that is healing routinely.
• Verify the fracture is documented as "closed" to align with the code's specificity.
