Displ bicondylar fx r tibia, subs for clos fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture affecting both condyles of the right tibia that has shifted from its normal anatomical position. The patient is in a follow-up period, and the fracture is closed (skin intact) and healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced bicondylar fracture of the right tibia is receiving routine follow-up care, such as cast changes, physical therapy, or imaging to monitor healing progress. This code is appropriate when the fracture is closed and demonstrating an uncomplicated healing trajectory.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "bicondylar" for the right tibia.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care and the fracture is healing routinely.
• Do not use for initial encounters or if complications like delayed union or nonunion are present.
