Disp fx of med condyle of r femr, 7thP

This code signifies a fracture of the inner bony prominence at the lower end of the right thigh bone that has healed incorrectly, resulting in a deformity. The fracture was initially displaced, meaning the bone fragments were not in their normal alignment. This specific code is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for this malunited closed fracture.

Apply this code for a patient presenting for ongoing management or evaluation of a previously treated, but now malunited, closed fracture of the right medial femoral condyle. This includes scenarios where the patient is experiencing symptoms related to the malunion, such as pain or functional limitations, and is undergoing assessment or planning for corrective procedures. It is appropriate for any encounter after the initial treatment of the fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the "right" medial femoral condyle.
• Verify the fracture was initially "displaced" and "closed" to align with the code's specificity.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; use an initial encounter code for the original treatment of the acute fracture.
