Sltr-haris Type II physl fx upr end r fibula, 7thD

This code describes a specific growth plate fracture (Salter-Harris Type II) affecting the upper part of the right fibula. This type of fracture involves the growth plate and a small piece of the metaphysis. The "D" in the code indicates that the patient is in the healing phase and is receiving follow-up care for this injury, with the fracture progressing as expected.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being monitored for a Salter-Harris Type II fracture of the proximal right fibula. This applies when the fracture is healing routinely without complications. It would be appropriate for clinic visits, cast changes, or imaging reviews during the recovery period after initial treatment.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right fibula" and "upper end" to support laterality and anatomical site.
• Confirm the Salter-Harris type is explicitly documented as Type II.
• The "D" seventh character is crucial for subsequent encounters with routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
