Nondisp fx of med condyle of l femr, 7thN

This code signifies a fracture of the inner part of the lower left thigh bone that has not shifted out of alignment. It specifically indicates that the initial injury was an open fracture (where the bone broke through the skin) of a severe type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC), and the bone fragments have failed to heal together properly during a follow-up period.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing care for a patient with a previously sustained, severe open medial condyle fracture of the left femur that has developed nonunion. It would be used when the patient is seen for treatment of this nonunion, such as surgical intervention, bone grafting, or prolonged immobilization.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and the "medial condyle" of the left femur.
• Verify that the original injury was an open fracture classified as type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• Confirm that the current encounter is for the management of nonunion, not initial treatment or routine follow-up of a healing fracture.
