Disp fx of med condyle of l tibia, 7thR

This code signifies a left tibial medial condyle fracture that was initially open (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) and has subsequently healed incorrectly, resulting in malunion. The fracture fragment is no longer in its anatomical position.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously treated open fracture of the medial condyle of the left tibia, where imaging or clinical assessment confirms malunion. This is used for subsequent encounters after the initial treatment of the fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "left" tibia and "medial condyle."
• Verify the original fracture was an open fracture, specifically Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• Confirm that the current encounter is for malunion, not nonunion or routine healing.
