Disp fx of med condyle of l tibia, 7thG

This code describes a fracture of the inner portion of the left shin bone's knee-end, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. It indicates that the patient is receiving ongoing care for this injury, and the fracture is not healing at the expected rate, despite the skin remaining intact over the fracture site.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up treatment of a previously diagnosed displaced medial condyle fracture of the left tibia, and the physician documents delayed healing of the closed fracture. This is appropriate for subsequent visits after the initial treatment, where the focus is on monitoring healing progress and managing complications like delayed union.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displaced" and "medial condyle" of the left tibia.
• Confirm the encounter is "subsequent" and the fracture is "closed" with "delayed healing."
• Do not use for initial encounters or if the fracture is healing normally.
