ICD-10-CMDisplaced fracture of medial condyle of left femur, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II
This code signifies a break in the inner portion of the lower left thigh bone, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. This specific injury involves an open wound that communicates with the fracture site, classified as either a Type I or Type II open fracture according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification.
Apply this code for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a displaced fracture of the medial condyle of the left femur, where the skin is broken and the wound is relatively clean (Type I) or has moderate soft tissue damage (Type II). This is appropriate for the acute phase of injury management.
