ICD-10-CMDisplaced fracture of medial condyle of right femur, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with delayed healing
This code signifies a displaced fracture of the medial condyle of the right femur that is currently undergoing treatment for delayed healing. The fracture was initially managed as a closed injury, meaning there was no open wound communicating with the fracture site. The "subsequent encounter" indicates ongoing care for this specific injury.
Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving treatment for a right medial femoral condyle fracture that is not healing at the expected rate. This applies when the fracture was initially closed and is still being managed non-surgically or after initial surgical fixation for a closed fracture.
