Disp fx of lateral condyle of unsp tibia, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the outer part of the upper shin bone (tibia) that is no longer in its correct anatomical position. The fracture is closed, meaning the skin is intact, and the patient is in a later stage of care where the bone is healing slower than expected.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced lateral tibial condyle fracture is experiencing delayed healing. This is appropriate when the fracture has not yet united and the patient is receiving ongoing treatment for the non-union.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "lateral condyle" of the tibia.
• Confirm the encounter is for "subsequent" care and that "delayed healing" is explicitly noted.
• Verify the fracture is "closed" and not an open fracture.
