Disp fx of med condyle of r tibia, 7thM

This code signifies a fracture of the inner portion of the right shin bone's upper end, which has shifted from its normal alignment. This specific encounter is for ongoing treatment of an open fracture (where the bone broke through the skin) classified as type I or II, and the bone fragments have failed to heal together properly.

Apply this code when a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced open fracture (type I or II) of the right tibial medial condyle presents for follow-up care, and there is documented evidence of nonunion. This would include scenarios where surgical intervention for nonunion is being planned or has already occurred during the current encounter.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" in addition to the displaced medial condyle fracture.
• Verify the fracture was initially an "open fracture type I or II" to justify the "M" seventh character.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter would use a different seventh character.
