Nondisp fx of med condyle of unsp tibia, 7thF

This code signifies a fracture of the inner part of the shin bone's upper end that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their normal alignment. It specifically applies to an open fracture (where the bone broke through the skin) that was initially classified as Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and is now in the routine healing phase during a subsequent encounter.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient is recovering from a previously treated open medial tibial condyle fracture (Gustilo-Anderson Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) and the fracture is healing as expected without complications. This would apply after initial treatment, such as surgical repair, has been performed.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and identifies the "medial condyle" of the tibia.
• Verify the initial open fracture type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) was documented and that healing is routine.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter code would be used for the acute injury.
