S72.435C
ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of medial condyle of left femur, initial encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC
This code describes a fracture of the inner portion of the lower left thigh bone that has not shifted out of alignment. It specifically indicates that the skin and soft tissues around the fracture site are significantly damaged, consistent with a severe open fracture.
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 fracture is openly exposed to the environment with extensive soft tissue injury. This includes cases involving significant periosteal stripping, massive contamination, or arterial injury requiring repair.
