Disp fx of med condyle of l femr, 7thM

This code signifies a non-healing fracture of the inner portion of the left thigh bone's lower end, which was initially an open fracture (skin broken) of Type I or II severity. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving ongoing treatment for this specific complication.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient is being managed for a previously diagnosed open medial condyle fracture of the left femur that has failed to unite. This includes scenarios such as monitoring nonunion, planning for revision surgery, or managing complications related to the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and the "subsequent encounter" for this specific fracture.
• Verify the initial fracture was indeed an open fracture type I or II.
• This code requires a seventh character "M" for subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with nonunion.
