Disp fx of med condyle of r femr, 7thQ

This code signifies a right femur fracture, specifically involving the medial condyle, which has healed improperly (malunion) following an initial open fracture of Type I or II. The fracture fragments are no longer in their correct anatomical alignment.

This code is used when a patient presents for follow-up care, such as cast removal, physical therapy, or evaluation of healing, after surgical or non-surgical treatment of an initial open medial condyle fracture of the right femur, and malunion has been identified. It applies when the initial injury was an open fracture, classified as Type I or II, and the current encounter addresses the subsequent complication of malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the right medial condyle of the femur.
• Verify the original fracture was an "open fracture type I or II" to justify the "Q" seventh character.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; do not use for the initial treatment of the fracture.
