Nondisp fx of med condyle of r tibia, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the inner portion of the right shin bone's upper end that has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a later stage of healing, and the bone union is progressing slower than expected, but the skin over the fracture remains intact.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced medial tibial condyle fracture. This is appropriate when the fracture is still closed, and the physician notes that healing is delayed. It indicates ongoing management of the fracture's delayed consolidation.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" for a closed fracture.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the medial condyle of the right tibia.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
