Displ unsp condyle fx low end l femr, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture of the lower end of the left femur, specifically involving an unspecified condyle, that is displaced. The key aspect is that the fracture has failed to heal properly (nonunion) and the patient is being seen for follow-up care after initial treatment, with the fracture remaining closed.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent encounters for a patient with a previously treated, displaced, closed fracture of the left femoral condyle that has not united. This would include follow-up appointments, imaging reviews, or discussions about further treatment options for the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the left femur and condyle involvement.
• Verify the encounter is "subsequent" and the fracture remains "closed."
• Do not use for initial treatment or if the fracture is open or healing normally.
