Nondisp fx of lateral condyle of r tibia, 7thE

This code signifies a fracture of the outer portion of the right shin bone, specifically the lateral condyle, that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The injury is an open fracture, meaning the skin was broken, classified as Type I or II, and is currently healing without complications.

Apply this code during follow-up visits for a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced open fracture (Type I or II) of the right tibial lateral condyle. This indicates that the fracture is progressing through its expected healing stages.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "lateral condyle of right tibia."
• Confirm the fracture was initially an "open fracture type I or II" and is now in a "subsequent encounter" for "routine healing."
• Do not use for initial encounters or if healing is delayed, complicated, or nonunion.
