Nondisp fx of med condyle of l femr, 7thK

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient with a left femoral medial condyle fracture that was initially nondisplaced and is now exhibiting signs of nonunion. Nonunion indicates that the bone fragments are not healing together as expected, despite the fracture being closed (skin intact).

Apply this code when a patient presents for ongoing management of a previously diagnosed nondisplaced medial condyle fracture of the left femur, and documentation confirms that the fracture has not healed and is considered a nonunion. This is appropriate for subsequent visits after the initial treatment, where the focus is on addressing the delayed or failed healing process.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nonunion" and specifies the left medial femoral condyle.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
• Confirm the fracture was initially nondisplaced and closed.
