Nondisp fx of med condyle of l femr, 7thJ

This code signifies a fracture of the inner portion of the lower left thigh bone that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. It specifically indicates that the fracture was initially an open fracture (meaning the bone broke through the skin) of a severe type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) and is now experiencing a delay in the expected healing process.

Use this code for follow-up encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced medial condyle fracture of the left femur, initially classified as an open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, is presenting for ongoing management due to delayed healing. This applies to situations where the fracture is not progressing to union within the anticipated timeframe.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "medial condyle" of the "left femur."
• Verify the original injury was an "open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC" and that "delayed healing" is explicitly documented.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter for this specific fracture would use a different code.
