Nondisp oblique fx shaft of r fibula, 7thN

This code signifies a right fibula shaft fracture, specifically an oblique type, that is not displaced. The fracture is an open fracture of type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and the patient is experiencing a nonunion during a subsequent encounter for treatment.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously treated open oblique fracture of the right fibula shaft (types IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) is presenting with evidence of nonunion. It indicates that the fracture has failed to heal properly and further intervention or management is being considered or performed.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and the open fracture type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC).
• Verify laterality (right fibula) and fracture type (oblique, shaft).
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
