Nondisp unsp condyle fx low end r femr, 7thE

This code describes a fracture of the lower end of the right femur, specifically an unspecified condyle, that is not displaced. It indicates that the fracture is an open fracture of type I or II, meaning there is a break in the skin communicating with the fracture, and the patient is in a subsequent phase of care with routine healing progressing as expected.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing treatment for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced open condylar fracture of the distal right femur. It should be used when the fracture is healing routinely and there are no complications. This code would be selected after the initial treatment of the open fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "unspecified condyle" of the lower right femur.
• Verify the encounter is "subsequent" and the healing is "routine" for an "open fracture type I or II."
• Do not use for initial encounters or if the fracture is displaced, malunion, nonunion, or has other complications.
