Nondisp fx of r tibial tuberosity, 7thE

This diagnosis code indicates a fracture of the right tibial tuberosity that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. It specifically applies to an open fracture (where the skin is broken) classified as Type I or II, and the patient is in the subsequent phase of care with expected routine healing.

Use this code for follow-up encounters when a patient is receiving ongoing treatment for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced, open Type I or II fracture of the right tibial tuberosity. This applies when the healing process is progressing as expected without complications. This code would be appropriate for visits such as cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy sessions during the routine healing period.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "right tibial tuberosity."
• Confirm the initial injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that this is a "subsequent encounter."
• Verify that the patient's healing is documented as "routine" or "expected" to differentiate from delayed or nonunion healing.
