Nondisp fx of lateral condyle of unsp tibia, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the outer portion of the upper shin bone (tibia) that has not shifted from its normal position. The injury is being managed in a follow-up encounter, and the fracture is closed (skin intact) but is healing slower than expected.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's visit for ongoing care of a nondisplaced lateral tibial condyle fracture that was previously diagnosed. This is appropriate when the fracture is not yet fully healed and the physician notes delayed union or healing complications, but the skin remains unbroken.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and identifies the "lateral condyle" of the tibia.
• Confirm the encounter type is "subsequent" and the fracture is "closed" with evidence of "delayed healing."
• Do not use for initial encounters or if the fracture is displaced or open.
