Nondisp transverse fx shaft of r fibula, 7thD

This code signifies a right fibular shaft fracture that runs horizontally across the bone, without any displacement of the bone fragments. At the time of this encounter, the fracture is closed (skin intact) and is healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed, non-displaced transverse fracture of the right fibula shaft. It should be used when the fracture is progressing through routine healing and no complications or delayed healing are noted.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "transverse" morphology of the fibular shaft fracture.
• Confirm the encounter is for follow-up care of a closed fracture with expected healing.
• Do not use for initial encounters, open fractures, or encounters with documented delayed healing, malunion, or nonunion.
