S72.435H
ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of medial condyle of left femur, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with delayed healing
This code describes a left femur fracture involving the inner part of the lower thigh bone, where the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. This specific instance refers to a follow-up visit for an open fracture (where the skin was broken) that is not healing as expected.
Use this code for a patient presenting for ongoing management of a previously sustained open fracture of the medial condyle of the left femur, specifically when the fracture is nondisplaced and exhibiting delayed healing. This would apply during subsequent encounters after the initial treatment of the open fracture.
