ICD-10-CMNondisplaced unspecified condyle fracture of lower end of right femur, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with delayed healing
This code describes a fracture involving the lower end of the right femur, specifically an unspecified condyle, which is not displaced. The "subsequent encounter" indicates ongoing treatment for a previously diagnosed fracture, and the "open fracture type I or II" specifies that the skin was broken, with "delayed healing" signifying that the bone is not mending at the expected rate.
This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient is receiving continued care for a right distal femoral condyle fracture that was initially open (Type I or II) and is now experiencing delayed union. It should be used when the fracture is nondisplaced and the focus of the encounter is on managing the delayed healing process.
