Nondisp transverse fx shaft of r fibula, 7thE

This code signifies a non-displaced fracture that runs perpendicular to the long axis of the shaft of the right fibula. It specifically indicates that the fracture is an open fracture of type I or II, meaning there is a wound communicating with the fracture site, and the patient is in a subsequent phase of care where routine healing is expected.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed open transverse fibular shaft fracture on the right side, where the fracture is non-displaced and healing without complications. This applies when the initial treatment has been rendered and the patient is now receiving ongoing management for routine healing.

• Ensure documentation specifies "subsequent encounter" and "routine healing" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly described as "nondisplaced" and "transverse" of the fibular shaft.
• Confirm the open fracture type (I or II) is documented, as this impacts the specificity of the code.
