Nondisp fx of lateral condyle of r femr, 7thH

This code signifies a fracture of the outer bony prominence at the end of the right thigh bone that has not shifted from its normal position. It specifically indicates that the initial injury was an open fracture (skin broken) of either Type I or Type II severity, and the healing process is taking longer than expected.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously treated nondisplaced open lateral condyle fracture of the right femur, where the wound was classified as Type I or II, and there is evidence of delayed union or nonunion. This is appropriate for encounters focused on managing the prolonged healing of such an injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and identifies the "lateral condyle" of the right femur.
• Verify the original injury was an "open fracture Type I or II" and that the current encounter addresses "delayed healing."
• Do not use for initial encounters, routine follow-up without healing issues, or for closed fractures.
