Nondisp seg fx shaft of r fibula, 7thH

This code describes a fracture involving the shaft of the right fibula, specifically a segmental fracture that has not shifted out of alignment. It indicates that the initial injury was an open fracture of type I or II, and the patient is currently in a phase of delayed healing.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a right fibular shaft fracture that was initially open (type I or II) and is now exhibiting delayed union. It should be used when the fracture is segmental and remains nondisplaced.

• Ensure documentation specifies "segmental" and "nondisplaced" for the fibular shaft fracture.
• Verify the original injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that healing is explicitly noted as "delayed."
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter would use a different code.
