Displ transverse fx shaft of l tibia, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the main part of the left shin bone that is no longer in its proper alignment. The patient is in the healing phase following initial treatment, and the fracture is progressing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for follow-up visits where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a displaced transverse left tibial shaft fracture. This is appropriate when the fracture is closed and demonstrating routine healing, typically after initial casting or fixation.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left tibia" and "transverse" fracture type.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" and not open or complicated.
