Nondisp fx of med condyle of r femr, 7thF

Nondisplaced fracture of medial condyle of right femur, subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with routine healing

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient with a nondisplaced fracture of the medial condyle of their right femur. The initial injury was an open fracture, classified as type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and is currently healing routinely.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code when documenting subsequent care for a right medial femoral condyle fracture that was initially an open fracture (Gustilo-Anderson types IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) and is progressing as expected. This includes follow-up appointments for cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy during the routine healing phase.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "medial condyle" for the right femur.
Verify the initial fracture was an open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
Confirm the encounter is for routine healing, not delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
