Nondisp seg fx shaft of r fibula, 7thE

This code describes a fracture involving the shaft of the right fibula, specifically a segmental break that has not shifted from its normal alignment. It indicates that the initial injury was an open fracture of Gustilo type I or II, and the patient is now in a subsequent phase of care where the fracture is healing routinely.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters for patients with a previously diagnosed segmental, nondisplaced open fracture (Type I or II) of the right fibula shaft. It should be used when the fracture is progressing as expected without complications during the healing process.

• Ensure documentation specifies "segmental" and "nondisplaced" for the fibula shaft.
• Verify the initial injury was an open fracture type I or II.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care with routine healing, not initial treatment or delayed/nonunion.
