Nondisp fx of lateral condyle of unsp tibia, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a fracture of the outer portion of the shin bone (tibia) that has not shifted out of alignment. At this stage, the fracture is healing as expected without complications, and the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

Apply this code when a patient presents for routine follow-up care of a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced lateral tibial condyle fracture. This includes cast changes, wound checks (if applicable and not related to an open fracture), or imaging to confirm continued routine healing during the subacute phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "lateral condyle" of the tibia.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing of a closed fracture.
• Do not use for initial treatment or for encounters involving delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
