Disp fx of lateral condyle of r tibia, 7thM

This code signifies a non-healing fracture of the outer bony prominence of the right shin bone, specifically involving a subsequent encounter for an open fracture classified as Type I or Type II. The fracture fragments are not in their normal anatomical alignment.

Apply this code when documenting ongoing treatment for a displaced lateral tibial condyle fracture that was initially open (Type I or II) and has failed to unite. This would be used for follow-up visits, cast changes, or surgical interventions addressing the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the "subsequent encounter" for an open fracture.
• Verify the laterality (right) and the specific anatomical site (lateral condyle of tibia).
• Confirm the original open fracture type (I or II) was documented, as this is crucial for accurate coding.
