Sltr-haris Type I physeal fracture of right metatarsal, 7thD

This code describes a Salter-Harris Type I fracture affecting the growth plate (physis) of a metatarsal bone in the right foot. This specific code is used when the patient is seen for follow-up care, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for follow-up visits after the initial treatment of a right metatarsal Salter-Harris Type I fracture. This includes appointments for cast changes, re-evaluation of healing progress, or removal of immobilization devices, provided the healing is routine. It is appropriate when the fracture is stable and progressing toward union.

• Ensure the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment.
• Verify the fracture is specifically Salter-Harris Type I and located in the right metatarsal.
• Confirm that the documentation indicates routine healing without mention of delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
