Sltr-haris Type I physl fx upr end r femr, 7thD

This code signifies a Salter-Harris Type I fracture affecting the growth plate at the top of the right thigh bone. It indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is progressing with expected, routine healing.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing management for a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type I physeal fracture of the right proximal femur. This is appropriate when the physician documents routine healing without complications, such as delayed union or nonunion.

• Ensure documentation specifies "routine healing" for subsequent encounters.
• Verify the fracture type is Salter-Harris Type I and the location is the upper end of the right femur.
• Confirm this is not the initial encounter for the fracture.
