Nondisp fx of lateral condyle of r femr, 7thR

This code describes a fracture of the outer bony prominence at the bottom of the right thigh bone that has not shifted from its normal position. This specific encounter is for ongoing care of an open fracture (where the bone broke through the skin) classified as type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and the bone is healing in an abnormal alignment.

Use this code when a patient is receiving follow-up treatment for a previously sustained open fracture of the right lateral femoral condyle that is now healing with malunion. This applies to situations where the initial injury was a severe open fracture (Gustilo-Anderson types IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) and the bone fragments have united in a deformed position.

• Ensure documentation specifies a "subsequent encounter" for ongoing care of the malunion.
• Verify the original fracture was an open fracture of type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• Confirm the fracture is of the right lateral femoral condyle and is nondisplaced.
