Nondisp fx of lateral condyle of r tibia, 7thH

This code describes a fracture of the outer portion of the upper right shin bone that has not shifted out of alignment. It specifically indicates that the initial injury was an open fracture (meaning the skin was broken) of either Type I or II severity, and the bone is now healing slower than expected.

Use this code for follow-up encounters when a patient is receiving ongoing care for a nondisplaced lateral condyle fracture of the right tibia that was initially an open fracture (Type I or II) and is experiencing delayed healing. This applies when the patient is beyond the initial acute treatment phase but the fracture has not yet fully consolidated.

• Confirm documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "lateral condyle of right tibia."
• Ensure the original injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that "delayed healing" is explicitly documented.
• Do not use for initial encounters or if the fracture is displaced, involves a different location, or is healing normally.
