Nondisp pilon fx right tibia, subs for clos fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture of the distal end of the right tibia, specifically involving the weight-bearing surface (pilon), which has not shifted out of its normal anatomical alignment. The patient is in a follow-up phase of treatment, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's visit for ongoing management of a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced pilon fracture of the right tibia. This is appropriate for routine follow-up appointments, cast changes, or physical therapy sessions during the healing period, assuming no new complications or displacement.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right tibia" for accurate code selection.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; use "A" for initial treatment or "S" for sequela.
• Confirm the fracture is indeed closed; open fractures would require a different code.
