Disp fx of med condyle of unsp tibia, 7thN

This code signifies a nonunion of a displaced fracture of the medial condyle of an unspecified tibia, which was initially an open fracture classified as Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC. Nonunion indicates that the bone has failed to heal completely after the initial injury and subsequent treatment.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting for ongoing management of a previously treated open fracture of the medial tibial condyle that has not healed. This applies to follow-up encounters where nonunion is confirmed and the original open fracture was severe (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC).

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the initial open fracture type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC).
• Verify the fracture is of the medial condyle of the tibia; laterality (left/right) is unspecified for this particular code.
• Confirm this is a "subsequent encounter" for the fracture, not the initial treatment.
