Nondisp fx of lateral condyle of r tibia, 7thM

This code signifies a non-displaced break in the outer part of the right shin bone, specifically the lateral condyle. It is used when the fracture was initially an open fracture (Type I or II) and is now being treated for a nonunion, meaning the bone is failing to heal properly.

Apply this code during follow-up encounters for a patient with a previously diagnosed open fracture (Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II) of the right tibial lateral condyle that has not healed. This would be used when the fracture itself remains non-displaced, but the primary concern is the ongoing nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and the original fracture type (open Type I or II).
• Verify the fracture is indeed "nondisplaced" at the time of this subsequent encounter.
• Confirm laterality (right tibia) is accurately documented.
