Sltr-haris Type II physl fx low end r femr, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a pediatric patient who sustained a Salter-Harris Type II fracture affecting the growth plate at the distal end of their right femur. At this stage, the fracture is progressing through its normal healing process without complications.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type II physeal fracture of the right distal femur is being monitored for routine healing. This includes follow-up appointments for cast checks, imaging to assess callus formation, or physical therapy evaluations during the uncomplicated recovery phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right femur" and "Salter-Harris Type II" to justify this specific code.
• Verify the encounter is for routine healing and not for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion.
• Confirm the "D" seventh character is appropriate for a subsequent encounter during the healing phase.
