Disp fx of med condyle of r tibia, 7thN

This code signifies a nonunion of a displaced fracture of the medial condyle of the right tibia, which was initially an open fracture of type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC. Nonunion indicates that the bone has failed to heal completely after a significant period.

This code is used when a patient presents for follow-up care or treatment of a previously diagnosed open fracture of the right tibial medial condyle that has not healed. It specifically applies when the initial open fracture was severe (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) and the fracture fragments remain displaced with evidence of nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and the initial open fracture type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC).
• Verify the laterality (right tibia) and the specific anatomical site (medial condyle).
• This code is for a "subsequent encounter," so it should not be used for the initial treatment of the fracture.
