Nondisp unsp condyle fx low end unsp femr, 7thQ

This code signifies a fracture of the lower end of the femur, specifically involving a condyle, that is not displaced and the exact condyle is not specified. The fracture was initially an open fracture of type I or II, and the current encounter addresses a malunion that has developed.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously treated open condylar femur fracture (type I or II) is now presenting with complications of malunion. This applies when the original fracture was nondisplaced and the specific condyle involved was not documented.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" as the reason for the subsequent encounter.
• Verify the original fracture was an open type I or II and nondisplaced.
• Confirm the specific condyle (medial or lateral) was not identified in the documentation.
