Nondisp fx of med condyle of l femr, 7thF

This code describes a fracture of the inner portion of the left lower thigh bone that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The fracture is currently undergoing routine healing, and the patient is being seen for a follow-up visit after the initial treatment of a severe open fracture where the bone broke through the skin, exposing significant soft tissue damage.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters for patients with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced medial condyle fracture of the left femur that was initially an open fracture classified as type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC. It should be used when the patient is progressing with routine healing, indicating no complications or delayed union. This would typically be for follow-up appointments after initial surgical or non-surgical management.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "medial condyle" of the left femur.
• Verify the original fracture was an open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC and that the current encounter is for routine healing.
• Do not use this code for initial encounters or for encounters involving delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
