S72.431F
ICD-10-CMDisplaced fracture of medial condyle of right femur, subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with routine healing
This code describes a follow-up encounter for a patient who sustained a fracture of the inner part of the right thigh bone's lower end. The initial injury was an open fracture, meaning the bone broke through the skin, classified as a severe Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and is now healing as expected.
Apply this code when documenting subsequent care for a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced medial condyle fracture of the right femur that was initially an open fracture (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC). This code is appropriate when the fracture is progressing through routine healing without complications.
