Nondisp fx of unsp tibial tuberosity, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the tibial tuberosity that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. The patient is in a later stage of healing for this closed fracture, but the healing process is taking longer than expected.

Apply this code when documentation indicates a patient is presenting for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed, non-displaced tibial tuberosity fracture that has not yet fully healed. This code is appropriate when the fracture is closed (skin intact) and the provider notes delayed healing.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" for a closed fracture.
• Verify the fracture is of the tibial tuberosity and is non-displaced.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
