Nondisp fx of lateral condyle of left femur, init

This code signifies a break in the outer bony prominence at the bottom of the left thigh bone (femur) that has not shifted out of its normal anatomical alignment. The skin overlying the fracture remains intact, indicating a closed injury.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the lateral femoral condyle on the left side, where the skin is not broken. This is appropriate for the initial treatment phase of such an injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "lateral condyle" of the left femur.
• Confirm the encounter is for the initial treatment of a closed fracture.
• Do not use for open fractures, displaced fractures, or subsequent encounters for this specific injury.
