Nondisp fx of l tibial tuberosity, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a patient who sustained a fracture of the tibial tuberosity in their left leg. The fracture is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment, and the healing process is progressing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced left tibial tuberosity fracture is seen for routine follow-up, cast changes, or assessment of healing progress. It indicates that the fracture is closed and healing without any reported issues or delays.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left" tibial tuberosity.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing.
• Do not use for initial encounters, malunion, nonunion, or delayed healing.
