Nondisp fx of unsp tibial tuberosity, 7thR

This code signifies a nondisplaced fracture of the unspecified tibial tuberosity that is currently undergoing treatment for a previously open fracture (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) that has developed malunion. The "R" suffix indicates that this is the right leg.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a history of a severe open tibial tuberosity fracture on the right leg is being managed for a malunion, and the fracture itself is now nondisplaced. This applies when the malunion is a current clinical issue being addressed.

• Ensure the documentation specifies a nondisplaced fracture of the tibial tuberosity and clearly indicates a history of an open fracture with current malunion.
• Verify laterality (right leg) is accurately documented.
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures without documented malunion.
