Nondisp fx of med condyle of unsp tibia, 7thR

This code describes a previously treated fracture of the inner part of the shin bone (tibia) near the knee joint, which was initially an open fracture (meaning the bone broke through the skin) of a severe type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC). The fracture itself is currently nondisplaced, but it has healed incorrectly, resulting in a malunion.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for complications arising from a malunited, nondisplaced medial tibial condyle fracture that was originally a severe open fracture. This applies when the malunion is the primary focus of the current visit, such as for evaluation, planning for corrective surgery, or ongoing management of symptoms related to the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" as the reason for the encounter, not just a healed fracture.
• Verify the original fracture was indeed an open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• Confirm the fracture is of the medial condyle of the tibia and is currently nondisplaced.
