Z48.89 - Encounter for other specified surgical aftercare
Aftercare visit codes cover situations when the initial treatment of a disease or injury, but are now receiving aftercare or prophylactic care, or care to consolidate treatment, or to deal with a residual state resulting from the surgery.
Specify the location of the surgery.
Coding Note: For neoplasm surgery, it is necessary to code the type of neoplasm.
Z47.89 - Encounter for other orthopedic aftercare
If it was surgery I would go with the Z48.89
