Nondisp bicondylar fx r tibia, 7thH

This code describes a fracture involving both condyles of the right tibia that has not shifted from its anatomical position. It specifically indicates that the initial injury was an open fracture of Gustilo type I or II, and the patient is currently in a phase of delayed healing.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously treated open bicondylar fracture of the right tibia (Gustilo type I or II) is experiencing a slower-than-expected healing process. This code is appropriate when the fracture remains nondisplaced and the focus of the encounter is on managing the delayed union.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "delayed healing" for the subsequent encounter.
• Verify the initial fracture was indeed an open fracture type I or II.
• Confirm the fracture is of the right tibia and remains nondisplaced.
