Nondisp bicondylar fx l tibia, 7thE

This code describes a fracture involving both condyles of the left tibia that is not displaced. It specifically indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care for an open fracture (Type I or II) that is healing routinely.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing treatment for a previously diagnosed open bicondylar fracture of the left tibia, and the fracture is progressing as expected without complications. This applies to situations such as cast changes, wound care, or physical therapy during the routine healing period.

• Confirm the fracture is bicondylar and of the left tibia.
• Verify the original fracture was an open fracture, specifically Type I or II.
• Ensure the encounter is for subsequent care and the healing is routine, not delayed or complicated.
