Nondisp fx of med condyle of unsp tibia, 7thJ

This code describes a fracture of the inner part of the shin bone, near the knee, that has not shifted out of alignment. It specifically indicates that this is a follow-up encounter for an open fracture (where the bone broke through the skin) classified as type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and the healing process is taking longer than expected.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's visit for ongoing management of a previously sustained nondisplaced medial tibial condyle fracture. This is appropriate when the initial injury was a severe open fracture (Gustilo-Anderson type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) and the physician notes delayed healing during the current encounter.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "medial condyle of tibia."
• Verify the original injury was an open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• This code is for subsequent encounters only; do not use for the initial treatment of the fracture.
