Nondisp fx of r tibial tuberosity, 7thF

This code signifies a nondisplaced fracture of the right tibial tuberosity that is currently in a subsequent phase of healing. It specifically applies to fractures that were initially classified as open (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) and are now undergoing routine healing.

Use this code for patients presenting for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed open right tibial tuberosity fracture where the fracture is nondisplaced and healing without complications. This applies to encounters after the initial treatment phase, such as cast checks, follow-up X-rays, or physical therapy sessions, as long as healing is routine.

• Ensure the fracture is specifically of the right tibial tuberosity and is nondisplaced.
• Verify documentation confirms the initial fracture was an open Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care with routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or for delayed/nonunion healing.
