Nondisp fx of med condyle of unsp tibia, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the inner portion of the shin bone (tibia) near the knee joint that is not out of alignment. The patient is in a later stage of recovery for this closed fracture, and the healing process is taking longer than expected.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced medial tibial condyle fracture is experiencing delayed union. It applies when the fracture was initially closed and the patient is still under active treatment or monitoring for the delayed healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for the closed fracture.
• Verify the fracture location is specifically the medial condyle of the tibia.
• This "G" encounter code is used after the initial treatment has been provided.
