Nondisp fx of lateral condyle of right femur, init

This code signifies a break in the outer bony prominence at the lower end of the right thigh bone that has not shifted out of its normal anatomical position. The fracture is contained within the skin, meaning there is no open wound communicating with the fracture site.

Apply this code when documenting the initial treatment for a patient presenting with a closed, non-displaced fracture of the lateral condyle of the right femur. This includes initial evaluation, reduction (if performed), and casting or splinting.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right femur" and "lateral condyle" to support this specific code.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly documented as "nondisplaced" and "closed" for accurate assignment.
• The "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for this specific injury, meaning the patient is receiving active treatment.
