Nondisp fx of med condyle of l tibia, 7thM

This code signifies a fracture of the inner portion of the left shin bone's upper end, which has not shifted out of alignment. The fracture was initially an open wound (Type I or II), and despite previous treatment, the bone fragments have failed to heal together. This code is used for follow-up care related to this ongoing healing complication.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's subsequent visit for a previously treated open fracture of the medial condyle of the left tibia, where nonunion is confirmed. This typically occurs during ongoing management of the nonunion, such as for evaluation of healing progress, planning for further interventions, or monitoring for complications.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and the "subsequent encounter" for the open fracture.
• Verify the fracture location is specifically the medial condyle of the left tibia and that it is nondisplaced.
• Confirm the initial fracture was an open fracture, type I or II, as this impacts the specific S82.13- subcategory.
