Nondisp fx of lateral condyle of right tibia, init

This code signifies a break in the outer bony prominence of the right shin bone, specifically at the knee joint, where the bone fragments have not shifted out of alignment. It indicates that the fracture is being treated for the first time and the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the lateral tibial condyle on the right leg, such as following a fall or direct trauma to the knee. This is appropriate for the initial visit where definitive treatment, like casting or splinting, is initiated.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "lateral condyle" of the right tibia.
• Verify the encounter is the "initial encounter" for this specific fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" (no open wound communicating with the fracture site).
