Disp fx of lateral condyle of right tibia, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the outer bony prominence of the right shin bone, specifically where it forms part of the knee joint. The fracture fragments are not in their normal anatomical alignment, and the skin over the fracture site is intact.

This code is appropriate for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, closed fracture of the lateral condyle of the right tibia that shows displacement on imaging. It is used when the patient is receiving active treatment for the fracture, such as reduction, immobilization, or surgical repair.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right" tibia and "lateral condyle" for accurate coding.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly documented as "displaced" and "closed."
• The "A" in the seventh character indicates an initial encounter for active treatment.
