Disp fx of med condyle of r tibia, 7thR

This code signifies a displaced fracture of the inner portion of the right shin bone, specifically at the knee joint. It indicates that the fracture is currently healing but has united in an abnormal position (malunion), and the initial injury was an open fracture of a severe type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC).

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously treated open fracture of the medial condyle of the right tibia that has healed with malunion. This applies to subsequent encounters where the malunion is being addressed or monitored.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" and the "subsequent encounter" for this specific fracture.
• Verify the original injury was an open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, as this is a specific inclusion criterion.
• Do not use for initial treatment or for nonunion; separate codes exist for those scenarios.
