ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of medial condyle of left tibia, subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with delayed healing
This code signifies a non-displaced fracture of the inner portion of the left shin bone's upper end, specifically when the patient is receiving ongoing care for a severe open fracture (types IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) that is not healing as expected. It indicates a complication in the healing process of an open tibial condyle fracture.
Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed non-displaced open fracture of the medial condyle of the left tibia is experiencing delayed healing. This applies when the open fracture was initially classified as type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and the patient is still under active treatment for the fracture's delayed union.
