Nondisp fx of unsp tibial spin, 7thH

This code describes a fracture of the tibial spine (a bony prominence in the knee joint) that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their normal alignment. It specifically applies when the initial injury was an open fracture (skin broken) of Type I or II, and the healing process is taking longer than expected.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is still receiving care for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced open Type I or II tibial spine fracture that is exhibiting delayed healing. This would include situations like continued wound care, physical therapy, or monitoring for bone union issues.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "tibial spine."
• Verify the original injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that "delayed healing" is noted.
• The "H" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for delayed healing.
