Nondisp fx of lateral condyle of r tibia, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the outer bony prominence at the top of the right shin bone that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The patient is in a later stage of recovery, and the fracture is taking longer than expected to heal, but the skin remains intact over the injury site.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being monitored for a nondisplaced lateral tibial condyle fracture of the right leg that is demonstrating delayed union. This is appropriate when the initial treatment was conservative (non-surgical) and the fracture has not yet fully consolidated.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies the "right tibia" and "lateral condyle."
• Verify that the encounter is for "subsequent care" and that "delayed healing" is explicitly noted by the provider.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" (skin intact) to avoid using codes for open fractures.
