Sltr-haris Type II physl fx low end r tibia, 7thG

This code describes a specific growth plate fracture (Salter-Harris Type II) affecting the lower part of the right shin bone. It indicates that the patient is receiving ongoing care for this fracture, and the healing process is taking longer than expected.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type II fracture of the distal right tibia is being treated for delayed union. This applies when the fracture has not healed within the anticipated timeframe and requires continued medical management.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "delayed healing" for the right tibia.
• Verify the fracture type is explicitly documented as Salter-Harris Type II.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter would use a different code.
