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

This code describes a situation where the growth plate at the bottom of the right thigh bone has a fracture that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. This specific encounter is for ongoing treatment of an open fracture (where the skin was broken) that is healing slower than expected.

Use this code for follow-up visits, cast changes, or physical therapy sessions for a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced Salter-Harris type I or II fracture of the distal right femur, where the initial injury was an open fracture and the healing process is prolonged. This applies when the patient is still under active treatment for the fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "lower epiphysis" of the right femur.
• Verify the initial injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that "delayed healing" is explicitly documented.
• This is a subsequent encounter code; do not use for the initial treatment of the fracture.
