Nondisp fx of med condyle of r tibia, 7thN

This code signifies a non-healing fracture of the inner portion of the right shin bone, specifically the medial condyle, that was initially an open fracture (meaning the bone broke through the skin) of a severe type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC). The fracture itself is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this previously diagnosed injury, which has now progressed to a nonunion.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing treatment for a patient with a previously treated severe open fracture of the right tibial medial condyle that has failed to heal (nonunion). It would be used during clinic visits, hospital admissions, or surgical encounters where the primary focus is managing the nonunion of this specific fracture. This includes scenarios like planning for bone grafting, revision surgery, or prolonged immobilization due to the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the original fracture as an open type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• Verify the laterality (right) and the specific anatomical site (medial condyle of tibia).
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the nonunion, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
