Disp fx of med condyle of l femr, 7thQ

This code signifies a previously sustained, displaced fracture of the inner bony prominence at the lower end of the left thigh bone. The fracture was an open type I or II injury, meaning the skin was broken, and has now healed incorrectly, resulting in a malunion.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient whose initial open fracture of the left medial femoral condyle has healed in a misaligned position. This is used for subsequent encounters after the initial treatment, where malunion is the primary concern.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "left" femur and "medial condyle" to support laterality and anatomical site.
• Verify the original fracture was an "open type I or II" and that "malunion" is explicitly diagnosed.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; use appropriate initial encounter codes for the acute injury.
