Nondisp fx of medial condyle of left tibia, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the inner bony prominence of the left shin bone, specifically the medial condyle, without any significant displacement of the bone fragments. It indicates that the fracture is closed, meaning the skin remains intact over the injury site. This is the first time the patient is receiving active treatment for this specific injury.

Use this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the medial condyle of the left tibia. This applies to initial evaluations and treatments, such as casting or splinting, for a closed fracture where the bone has not pierced the skin.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and "medial condyle of left tibia."
• Verify that this is the patient's initial encounter for this specific fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is closed; if open, a different code is required.
