Nondisp unsp condyle fx low end r femr, 7thN

This code describes a situation where a patient is receiving follow-up care for a nondisplaced fracture of an unspecified condyle at the lower end of their right femur. The initial injury was an open fracture, classified as type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and has subsequently failed to heal properly, resulting in a nonunion.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed open, nondisplaced condylar fracture of the right distal femur (types IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) is being treated for a nonunion. This would include visits for ongoing management, evaluation of nonunion, or surgical intervention to address the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "subsequent encounter" and "nonunion" for this specific fracture type.
• Verify the initial fracture was indeed an open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• Do not use this code for initial treatment or for malunion; a different code would be required.
