Sltr-haris Type II physl fx upr end l tibia, 7thD

This code describes a Salter-Harris Type II fracture affecting the growth plate at the top of the left tibia. Specifically, it indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type II fracture of the proximal left tibia, and the physician documents routine healing. This is appropriate when the initial treatment has been rendered and the patient is progressing well through the recovery period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left tibia" and "upper end" or "proximal" to confirm anatomical site.
• Verify the encounter is for "subsequent" care and that "routine healing" is explicitly or implicitly documented.
• Distinguish from initial encounters (A) or encounters for delayed/nonunion healing (G, K, P, S).
