Disp fx of med condyle of unsp femr, 7thN

This code describes a situation where a patient has a fracture of the medial condyle of an unknown femur that has shifted out of its normal alignment. This specific encounter is for an open fracture (where the bone broke through the skin) of a severe type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) that has failed to heal properly, indicating a nonunion.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced medial condylar femur fracture that was an open fracture of type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and the fracture has not united. This applies to encounters where treatment for the nonunion, such as bone grafting or revision surgery, is being planned or performed.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and the open fracture type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC).
• Confirm the fracture is of the medial condyle and the displacement is noted.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the acute fracture.
