Torus fx lower end of r fibula, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a buckle fracture, or torus fracture, affecting the lower portion of the right fibula. It indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is progressing with expected, routine healing.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed torus fracture of the distal right fibula. This is appropriate for encounters where the fracture is healing without complications and the patient is not in the initial treatment phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right" fibula and "lower end" or "distal" to support the anatomical specificity.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care and the healing process is described as routine, not delayed or complicated.
• Do not use for initial treatment or for nonunion/malunion; those require different seventh characters.
