S72.412Q
ICD-10-CMDisplaced unspecified condyle fracture of lower end of left femur, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with malunion
This code describes a situation where the lower end of the left femur has a fracture involving an unspecified condyle, and the fractured bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment (displaced). This particular encounter is for an open fracture, specifically type I or II, that has healed incorrectly, resulting in a malunion.
This code is appropriate for documenting follow-up care for a patient who previously sustained an open fracture (Type I or II) of the distal left femoral condyle, and the fracture has now healed in an anatomically incorrect position. It would be used when the patient presents for management of this malunion, such as for surgical correction or ongoing conservative management.
