Nondisp unsp condyle fx low end r femr, 7thP

This code describes a fracture of the lower end of the right thigh bone, specifically involving an unspecified condyle, which has not shifted out of place. The patient is in a later stage of treatment for this fracture, and the bone is healing incorrectly, resulting in a malunion.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced condylar fracture of the distal right femur, and imaging or clinical assessment confirms that the fracture is healing with a malunion. This applies when the fracture was initially closed.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right femur" and "unspecified condyle" for accurate coding.
• Verify the encounter is "subsequent" and the fracture is "closed" with "malunion."
• Do not use for initial encounters or if the fracture is healing normally or with nonunion.
