Displaced bicondylar fx r tibia, subs for clos fx w malunion

This code describes a fracture involving both condyles of the right tibia that has healed incorrectly (malunion) and is currently under active treatment or follow-up. The fracture was initially displaced, meaning the bone fragments were not in their normal alignment. The "closed" nature indicates the skin was not broken at the time of the initial injury.

This code is appropriate for patients presenting for follow-up care, physical therapy, or further surgical intervention related to a previously treated bicondylar tibial fracture that has resulted in malunion. It is used when the patient is still receiving care for the effects of the fracture and its improper healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the right tibia.
• Confirm the encounter is "subsequent" and not initial or sequela.
• Verify the fracture was initially "displaced" and "closed."
