Disp fx of med condyle of l tibia, 7thP

This code signifies a fracture of the inner portion of the left shin bone's upper end, which has shifted out of its normal alignment. The fracture is currently undergoing treatment, but the bone segments have healed in an incorrect position, leading to a deformity.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being managed for a previously diagnosed displaced fracture of the medial condyle of the left tibia. This is specifically for situations where imaging or clinical assessment confirms that the fracture has healed, but with an unacceptable angulation, rotation, or shortening (malunion), and the fracture was initially treated non-surgically (closed).

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the "left tibia" and "medial condyle."
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care of the malunion, not the initial treatment or active healing phase.
• Confirm the original fracture was treated as a "closed" fracture.
