Type II occipital condyle fracture, right side, 7thD

Type II occipital condyle fracture, right side, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a fracture of the right occipital condyle, specifically a Type II injury according to the Anderson and Montesano classification, which is currently healing without complications. This type of fracture involves the condyle itself, often due to axial loading or rotational forces.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code when a patient presents for a routine follow-up visit for a previously diagnosed right Type II occipital condyle fracture that is progressing well through its healing stages. Documentation should clearly state "subsequent encounter," "routine healing," and specify the right side and Type II classification.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure the documentation explicitly states "Type II" to differentiate from Type I or Type III occipital condyle fractures.
Verify the laterality is documented as "right side" to avoid incorrect coding.
This code is for routine healing; use different codes for delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
