Nondisp fx of unsp tibial spin, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the tibial spine (a bony prominence within the knee joint) that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical position. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "delayed healing" specifies that the fracture is taking longer than expected to mend.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing management of a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced tibial spine fracture that is not healing at the anticipated rate. This would include follow-up appointments where imaging shows persistent fracture lines or clinical signs of delayed union are present.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and "delayed healing" for the tibial spine fracture.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
• Verify the fracture site is specifically the tibial spine, not another part of the tibia.
