Nondisp transverse fx shaft of l fibula, 7thD

This code signifies a left fibular shaft fracture that runs horizontally across the bone, without any displacement of the bone fragments. The patient is in a follow-up phase of care, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications, managed non-surgically.

Apply this code for patients presenting for routine follow-up appointments, cast changes, or imaging to monitor healing of a previously diagnosed, non-displaced transverse fracture of the left fibula shaft. This is appropriate when the fracture is closed and progressing through its normal healing stages.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left" fibula and "transverse" fracture pattern.
• Confirm the fracture is "nondisplaced" and "closed" for accurate code assignment.
• The "D"第七 character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing, not initial treatment or delayed/nonunion.
