Nondisp fx of med condyle of l tibia, 7thB

This code signifies a break in the inner portion of the upper shin bone (tibia) on the left leg, specifically at the medial condyle. The fracture is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. This code is used for the initial treatment of an open fracture, where the skin is broken but the wound is relatively clean and small (Type I or II).

Apply this code when documenting the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a nondisplaced open fracture of the left tibial medial condyle. This typically occurs following trauma where the bone has broken through the skin, but the wound is not extensively contaminated or severely comminuted.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "medial condyle" of the left tibia.
• Verify the encounter is "initial" and the open fracture type is clearly documented as Type I or II.
• Do not use this code for subsequent encounters or for closed fractures.
