In simple words: This code represents a follow-up visit for a fracture in the inner bone of the eye socket that is not healing as quickly as it should.

Fracture of medial orbital wall, unspecified side, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing. This code describes a fracture affecting the medial wall of the eye socket, without specifying which side (left or right). It is used for encounters after the initial visit, indicating the fracture is healing slower than expected.

Example 1: A patient initially presented with a closed fracture of the medial orbital wall two weeks ago. During a follow-up appointment, the physician notes that the fracture shows signs of delayed healing and requires further monitoring., A patient who sustained a fracture of the medial orbital wall in a motor vehicle accident is experiencing persistent pain and limited eye movement several weeks after the initial injury. Imaging reveals delayed healing of the fracture., A patient with a history of diabetes presents for a follow-up appointment regarding a medial orbital wall fracture. The physician observes that the fracture is healing slower than expected due to the patient's underlying condition.

Documentation should include the initial date of injury, details of the original fracture, evidence of delayed healing (e.g., imaging studies, physical exam findings), treatment plan, and any associated complications.
