Nondisp fx of med condyle of unsp tibia, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture of the inner portion of the lower thigh bone (medial condyle of the tibia) that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. The fracture has failed to heal properly (nonunion) and the patient is presenting for follow-up care or treatment of this unhealed fracture.

This code is appropriate for encounters where a patient is being managed for a previously diagnosed, non-displaced medial tibial condyle fracture that has not united. This includes follow-up appointments, imaging studies to assess nonunion, or procedures aimed at promoting healing of the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and that the fracture is "nondisplaced."
• Verify this is a "subsequent encounter" for the fracture, not the initial treatment.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" as indicated by the absence of an open wound communicating with the fracture site.
