Nondisp fx of med condyle of r tibia, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture of the inner portion of the right shin bone's upper end that has not shifted out of alignment. It specifically indicates that the patient is in a later stage of care for this fracture, and the bone fragments are failing to heal together.

Apply this code when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced medial condyle fracture of the right tibia presents for follow-up care, and imaging or clinical assessment confirms that the fracture has not united. This is appropriate for ongoing management of a nonunion, such as during preparation for revision surgery or continued conservative treatment.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies "nondisplaced" and "medial condyle of right tibia."
• Verify that this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
• Do not use this code if the fracture is displaced or if the nonunion is of a different part of the tibia.
