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

This diagnosis code signifies a break in the outer bony prominence at the top of the shin bone (tibia) that has shifted out of its normal alignment. The fracture location is not specified as left or right, and the skin over the fracture remains intact.

Apply this code for initial treatment of a patient presenting with a displaced fracture of the lateral tibial condyle where the laterality (left or right) is not documented. This is appropriate for the first encounter for active treatment of the fracture.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "displaced" and "closed" for accurate code assignment.
• Only use this code when the specific laterality (left or right tibia) is not documented by the provider.
• The "A" seventh character indicates the initial encounter for active treatment of the fracture.
