Disp fx of med condyle of unsp tibia, 7thK

This code signifies a displaced fracture of the inner bony prominence of the shin bone (tibia) that has not healed properly, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care. The fracture was initially closed, meaning the skin was not broken.

Apply this code when a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced medial tibial condyle fracture, which was initially closed, returns for ongoing treatment of a nonunion. This includes scenarios such as cast changes, physical therapy, or evaluation for surgical intervention due to the lack of healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and "subsequent encounter" for a closed fracture.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the medial condyle of the tibia and is displaced.
• Do not use for initial encounters or for malunion, which is a different complication.
