Disp fx of med condyle of r tibia, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture of the inner bony prominence of the right shin bone that has shifted out of alignment and has failed to heal properly. The patient is in a later stage of treatment for this specific injury, and the fracture remains closed (skin intact).

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed displaced medial condyle fracture of the right tibia that has not united. This includes situations where surgical intervention for nonunion is being planned or has already occurred, or when conservative management for nonunion is ongoing.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the "medial condyle" of the "right tibia."
• Verify that the fracture is explicitly documented as "displaced" and "closed."
• This seventh character 'K' indicates a subsequent encounter for a closed fracture with nonunion; do not use for initial treatment or malunion.
