Nondisp bicondylar fx r tibia, subs for clos fx w malunion

This code signifies a fracture involving both condyles of the right tibia that is not displaced. It is used when the fracture has not healed correctly (malunion) and the patient is receiving follow-up care for this closed fracture.

This code is appropriate for patients presenting for ongoing management of a right tibial bicondylar fracture that has developed malunion, and the fracture site is not open. It applies to encounters where the focus is on addressing the suboptimal healing of the previously closed fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right tibia" and "bicondylar" to support this specific code.
• Verify that the encounter is for a "subsequent encounter" and that "malunion" is clearly documented.
• Confirm the fracture is "nondisplaced" and "closed" to align with the code's specificity.
