S82.001D
ICD-10-CMUnspecified fracture of right patella, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with routine healing
This code signifies an unspecified fracture of the right kneecap that is currently in a healing phase following initial treatment, without surgical intervention. It indicates that the fracture is mending as expected during a follow-up visit.
Apply this code for patients presenting for routine follow-up appointments after a closed right patellar fracture, where the fracture type was not specified at initial diagnosis and healing is progressing normally. This is appropriate for subsequent visits after the initial treatment has been rendered.
