Nondisp fx of right tibial tuberosity, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the bony prominence located at the top front of the right tibia, specifically where the patellar tendon attaches. The fracture is stable, meaning the bone fragments have not shifted out of alignment.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the right tibial tuberosity. This is appropriate for the initial visit where the fracture is being evaluated and treatment is initiated, and the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies the "right" side.
• The "A" seventh character indicates an initial encounter for a closed fracture; use subsequent characters for follow-up care or open fractures.
• Verify the fracture is indeed of the tibial tuberosity and not another part of the tibia.
