Nondisp fx of lateral condyle of l femr, 7thF

This code describes a follow-up visit for a patient who sustained a break in the outer part of the lower end of their left thigh bone. The fracture was not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remained in their normal alignment, and it was an open fracture (bone broke through the skin) classified as type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, which is now healing routinely.

Use this code for subsequent encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced open fracture (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) of the lateral condyle of the left femur is receiving ongoing care, and the fracture is progressing with expected, routine healing. This applies to visits for cast changes, wound care, physical therapy, or follow-up imaging to monitor healing progress.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "lateral condyle of left femur."
• Verify the original injury was an "open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC" and that healing is "routine."
• Do not use for initial treatment or for fractures with delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
