Nondisp fx of med condyle of unsp tibia, 7thB

This code describes a break in the inner part of the lower end of the shin bone (tibia) that has not shifted from its normal position. The fracture is open, meaning the skin has been broken, and is classified as a Type I or II open fracture according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification. This code is used for the initial treatment of such an injury.

Use this code when documenting the initial encounter for a patient presenting with a nondisplaced fracture of the medial tibial condyle. This applies specifically when the fracture is open, with minimal skin damage (Type I) or moderate soft tissue damage (Type II), and the patient is receiving active treatment for the injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "medial condyle" of the tibia.
• Confirm the Gustilo-Anderson classification of the open fracture is Type I or II.
• This "B" encounter code is only for the initial treatment phase; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
