Nondisp fx of med condyle of r tibia, 7thQ

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a previously sustained fracture of the inner bony prominence of the right shin bone, specifically involving the medial condyle. The initial injury was an open fracture (Type I or II), meaning the skin was broken, and the bone has since healed in an unsatisfactory alignment, known as a malunion.

This code is appropriate when a patient presents for ongoing management, evaluation, or treatment of a malunited, nondisplaced medial condyle fracture of the right tibia that was initially an open fracture (Type I or II). This would include clinic visits for assessment of function, pain, or planning for corrective surgery related to the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the right tibia's medial condyle.
• Verify the original injury was an open fracture, Type I or II, as this impacts the "Q" seventh character.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; use an initial encounter code for the acute injury.
