Disp fx of r tibial tuberosity, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient who sustained a fracture of the right tibial tuberosity, where the bone fragments were not in their normal anatomical alignment. At this subsequent visit, the fracture is healing as expected without complications, and the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

Apply this code when documenting a return visit for a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced right tibial tuberosity fracture that is now undergoing routine healing. This would include appointments for cast changes, follow-up X-rays to monitor progress, or physical therapy evaluations during the routine healing phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "right" to support this specific code.
• Confirm the encounter is for a "subsequent" visit and not the initial treatment.
• Verify the fracture is "closed" and healing "routinely" without mention of delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
