Disp fx of med condyle of unsp tibia, 7thM

This code signifies a non-healing fracture of the inner portion of the shin bone, specifically the medial condyle, which is no longer in its proper anatomical alignment. This particular instance refers to an open fracture (where the bone broke through the skin) that was initially classified as Type I or II, and the patient is now presenting for follow-up care due to the bone's failure to unite.

Apply this code when documenting a patient encounter for ongoing management of a displaced medial tibial condyle fracture that has not healed. This is appropriate for subsequent visits where nonunion of an open Type I or II fracture is the primary focus of treatment, such as for surgical planning, cast changes, or monitoring healing progress.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and "displaced" for the medial condyle of the tibia.
• Verify the initial open fracture was classified as Type I or II; other open fracture types would require a different subsequent encounter code.
• This code is for subsequent encounters only; an initial encounter for this specific injury would use a different code.
