Nondisplaced bicondylar fracture of left tibia, init

This code signifies a fracture involving both condyles (the rounded prominences at the end) of the left tibia, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical position. It indicates that the injury is new and the skin over the fracture site is intact.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed bicondylar tibial fracture on the left leg that has not undergone reduction or definitive treatment. This is appropriate for the initial visit where the fracture is identified and managed conservatively or prepared for surgery.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left" tibia and "bicondylar" involvement.
• Confirm the fracture is "nondisplaced" and "closed" for accurate code assignment.
• The "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for active treatment of the fracture.
