Nondisp oblique fx shaft of l fibula, 7thD

This code describes a fracture of the shaft of the left fibula that is not displaced and runs obliquely. The patient is in the healing phase of a closed fracture, and the healing process is progressing as expected without complications.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced oblique fracture of the left fibula shaft. This typically includes office visits for cast checks, physical therapy evaluations, or imaging to assess routine healing progress. It is appropriate for encounters occurring after the initial treatment.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "oblique" for the fibula shaft fracture.
• Verify that the encounter is for subsequent care and that healing is routine, not delayed or complicated.
• Confirm the laterality is "left" and the fracture is "closed."
