Nondisp transverse fx shaft of r tibia, 7thE

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a right tibia shaft fracture that is transverse in nature and has not shifted out of alignment. The initial injury was an open fracture, classified as Type I or II, and the fracture is currently healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced transverse open fracture (Type I or II) of the right tibial shaft that is progressing through routine healing. This includes follow-up appointments for cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy evaluations during the healing phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "transverse" for the fracture type.
• Verify the initial injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that healing is "routine."
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures with delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
