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

This code indicates a specific growth plate fracture (Salter-Harris Type II) affecting the upper portion of the right fibula. The "subsequent encounter" aspect signifies that the patient is receiving ongoing care for this fracture, which is experiencing a delay in its expected healing process.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type II fracture of the right proximal fibula is being managed for delayed union. This includes evaluations, imaging, or interventions aimed at promoting healing after the initial treatment phase.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for the fracture.
• Verify the specific bone (fibula) and laterality (right) are documented.
• Confirm the fracture type is explicitly identified as Salter-Harris Type II.
