Disp fx of med condyle of unsp femr, 7thM

This code signifies a fracture of the inner bony prominence at the bottom of the femur, which has shifted from its normal alignment. It specifically indicates that the initial injury was an open fracture (where the bone broke through the skin) classified as Type I or II, and the bone fragments are failing to heal together properly during a follow-up encounter.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's follow-up visit for a previously treated open fracture of the medial femoral condyle that is not uniting. This is appropriate for cases where the fracture was initially an open Type I or II and the current assessment confirms nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and the initial open fracture type (I or II).
• Verify the fracture is indeed of the medial condyle and not another part of the femur.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for ongoing management of the nonunion.
