Nondisp fx of med condyle of unsp tibia, 7thH

This code signifies a nondisplaced fracture of the medial condyle of the tibia, which is currently in a delayed healing phase following an initial open fracture of Salter-Harris Type I or II. It indicates that the bone ends are still in proper alignment, but the healing process is not progressing as expected for an open fracture.

Apply this code for patients presenting for follow-up care of a previously treated open tibial medial condyle fracture (Type I or II) where imaging or clinical assessment confirms delayed union. This is appropriate when the fracture is no longer acute and the initial treatment for the open wound has been completed, but the bone healing is protracted.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "medial condyle of tibia."
• Verify the original injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that healing is "delayed."
• This "H" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for delayed healing of an open fracture.
