Nondisp fx of med condyle of r tibia, 7thC

This code signifies a break in the inner bony prominence of the right shin bone, specifically one that has not shifted from its normal position. The fracture is exposed to the outside environment through a significant wound, classified as a severe open fracture (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC). This code is used for the initial treatment of such an injury.

Apply this code when documenting the first encounter for a patient presenting with a non-displaced fracture of the medial condyle of the right tibia. This is appropriate when the fracture is clearly identified as an open injury with extensive soft tissue damage or contamination, requiring surgical debridement and stabilization.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and the "medial condyle" of the right tibia.
• Verify the open fracture type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) is explicitly stated by the provider.
• This code is only for the initial encounter; subsequent care will require a different seventh character.
