Disp fx of med condyle of l tibia, 7thN

This code signifies a displaced fracture of the medial condyle of the left tibia that has not healed (nonunion). It specifically applies to open fractures of type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, indicating significant soft tissue damage and contamination. The "subsequent encounter" aspect means the patient is receiving follow-up care for this previously diagnosed and treated fracture.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing management of a nonunion of a displaced medial condyle fracture of the left tibia. This applies when the initial injury was an open fracture classified as type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC. It is appropriate for follow-up visits after initial treatment, such as for monitoring healing, planning further surgical intervention for nonunion, or managing complications.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and the "subsequent encounter" status.
• Verify the original fracture was an open fracture of type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• Do not use for initial treatment or malunion; specific codes exist for those scenarios.
