Nondisp fx of l tibial tuberosity, 7thE

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient with a nondisplaced fracture of the left tibial tuberosity, which was initially an open fracture classified as Type I or II. At this subsequent visit, the fracture is healing routinely without complications.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's return visit for ongoing management of a previously diagnosed open Type I or II left tibial tuberosity fracture that is progressing well. This is appropriate for routine cast checks, wound care, or physical therapy sessions during the healing phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left" tibial tuberosity.
• Confirm the initial injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and the current encounter is for "routine healing."
• Do not use for initial encounters or encounters with delayed/nonunion healing.
