Displaced fracture of medial condyle of right tibia, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or late effect stemming from a previously sustained fracture of the medial condyle of the right tibia, which was originally displaced. It indicates that the patient is experiencing residual issues directly attributable to that past injury, rather than an acute fracture.

Apply this code when documenting conditions such as chronic pain, nonunion, malunion, osteoarthritis, or functional limitations that are a direct consequence of a healed or healing displaced fracture of the right tibial medial condyle. This code is appropriate when the initial fracture event is no longer acute and the patient is being treated for its lasting effects.

• Always use an additional code to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., M17.11 for unilateral primary osteoarthritis, right knee).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous displaced right tibial medial condyle fracture.
• Do not use this code for acute fractures; instead, select an appropriate acute fracture code from the S82.13- category.
