Nondisp fx of r tibial spin, 7thR

This code describes a previously sustained, non-displaced fracture of the right tibial spine that is now experiencing malunion. The original fracture was an open fracture, classified as type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, indicating significant soft tissue damage and contamination. The current encounter is for ongoing management of this healing but improperly aligned fracture.

This code is used when a patient presents for follow-up care of a right tibial spine fracture that was initially an open fracture (type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) and has subsequently healed in an unsatisfactory alignment (malunion). This applies to encounters where the malunion is being addressed, monitored, or is a complicating factor in the patient's recovery.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" and the original fracture type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC).
• Verify the fracture is of the right tibial spine and was initially non-displaced.
• This code is for a "subsequent encounter," meaning it's not for the initial treatment of the fracture.
