Disp fx of med condyle of r femur, init for opn fx type I/2

This code signifies a break in the inner portion of the lower right thigh bone, specifically the medial condyle, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. It indicates that the fracture is an open type I or II, meaning there is a wound communicating with the fracture site, and this is the patient's first time receiving active treatment for this injury.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, displaced open fracture of the right femoral medial condyle. This is appropriate when the medical record clearly documents an open fracture classified as Gustilo-Anderson type I or II, and the patient is undergoing initial surgical or non-surgical management.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "medial condyle" of the right femur.
• Verify the open fracture type (I or II) is explicitly stated in the physician's notes.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment, not a subsequent visit for healing or complications.
