ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of medial condyle of left femur, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II
This code signifies a break in the inner bony prominence at the lower end of the left thigh bone that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The fracture is an open type I or II, meaning there is a wound communicating with the fracture site, but the soft tissue damage is relatively minor.
This code is appropriate for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a non-displaced fracture of the medial condyle of the left femur where the skin has been broken, exposing the bone, but the wound is small (less than 1 cm for type I) or moderate (1-10 cm for type II) with minimal contamination. It is used for the first encounter for this specific injury.
