Nondisp fx of medial condyle of left tibia, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual effect from a fracture of the medial condyle of the left tibia that was not displaced at the time of injury. It indicates that the initial acute injury has resolved, but the patient is still experiencing a condition directly related to the previous fracture. This could include pain, stiffness, or functional limitations.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's current condition that is a direct consequence of a previously sustained, nondisplaced fracture of the medial condyle of the left tibia. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters after the acute phase of healing, where the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion, nonunion, or post-traumatic arthritis) is being addressed. Do not use for the initial acute injury.

• Always ensure the "S" seventh character is used for sequela, indicating a complication or condition arising as a direct result of the original injury.
• Code any specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, nonunion, malunion) in addition to this code, if applicable.
• Verify laterality (left) and the specific anatomical site (medial condyle of tibia) to ensure accuracy.
