Nondisp fx of unsp tibial tuberosity, 7thK

This code signifies a non-displaced fracture of the tibial tuberosity where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "nonunion" specifies that the fracture has failed to heal properly despite treatment.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing management of a tibial tuberosity fracture that has not united, even after initial treatment. It would be used for patients presenting for follow-up appointments, imaging studies to assess healing, or discussions regarding further interventions for the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and identifies the "tibial tuberosity" as the fracture site.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care and that "nonunion" is explicitly documented as the healing status.
• Do not use this code for initial fracture treatment or for fractures that are healing normally.
