Nondisp fx of med condyle of l tibia, 7thH

This code describes a left tibial medial condyle fracture that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. It specifically indicates a subsequent encounter for an open fracture of type I or II, where the skin was broken at the time of injury, and the healing process is taking longer than expected.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced open fracture (Type I or II) of the medial condyle of the left tibia. This applies when the fracture is not healing at the anticipated rate, requiring ongoing medical management or intervention.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "medial condyle of left tibia."
• Verify that the original injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that the current encounter is for "delayed healing."
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures that are healing normally.
