Nondisp fx of low epiphy (separation) of r femr, 7thD

This code signifies a non-displaced fracture of the growth plate at the lower end of the right thigh bone. The fracture is currently undergoing routine healing, and this encounter is a follow-up visit after the initial treatment.

Apply this code for subsequent outpatient or inpatient encounters where a patient is being monitored for a Salter-Harris type I or II fracture of the distal right femur that was initially treated non-surgically and is healing as expected. This is appropriate for follow-up appointments where imaging confirms continued alignment and callus formation without complications.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "routine healing" for subsequent encounters.
• Verify the laterality (right femur) and the specific location (lower epiphysis).
• Confirm this is not an initial encounter or an encounter for delayed/nonunion healing.
