Nondisp spiral fx shaft of r fibula, 7thE

This code signifies a spiral fracture of the shaft of the right fibula that has not shifted from its anatomical position. It specifically indicates an open fracture, classified as Type I or II, that is currently in the routine healing phase.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced spiral open fracture (Type I or II) of the right fibula shaft, and the physician notes that the fracture is healing as expected without complications. This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters after the initial treatment.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "spiral" fracture of the fibula shaft.
• Verify the encounter is for subsequent care and the fracture is explicitly stated as "routine healing" for an open fracture Type I or II.
• Do not use for initial encounters or if the fracture healing is complicated or delayed.
