Nondisp fx of lateral condyle of r femr, 7thN

This code signifies a previously treated, but unhealed, fracture of the outer bony prominence at the bottom of the right thigh bone. Specifically, it indicates that the initial injury was an open fracture (meaning the bone broke through the skin) of a severe type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC), and despite prior treatment, the bone fragments have failed to unite.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a nonunion of a lateral femoral condyle fracture on the right side, where the original injury was a severe open fracture. This would be used during subsequent encounters for ongoing management, such as preparing for revision surgery, monitoring nonunion progression, or managing complications related to the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and the original open fracture type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC).
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter for the nonunion would use a different seventh character.
• Verify laterality (right femur) and the specific fracture site (lateral condyle).
