Unsp physl fx upper end of r tibia, subs for fx w routn heal

This code describes a follow-up encounter for a fracture affecting the growth plate at the top of the right shin bone, which is currently healing normally. The specific type of physeal fracture was not documented at the initial presentation.

Use this code when a patient is seen for routine follow-up care of an unspecified physeal fracture of the proximal right tibia, and the fracture is progressing through an expected healing phase. This applies to subsequent visits after the initial diagnosis and treatment.

• Ensure documentation specifies "routine healing" or similar language indicating uncomplicated recovery.
• Verify laterality (right tibia) is clearly documented.
• This code is for an unspecified physeal fracture; if the Salter-Harris type is known, a more specific code should be used.
