Nondisp fx of medial condyle of left femur, sequela

This code signifies a past, resolved fracture of the inner bony prominence at the bottom of the left thigh bone, where the bone fragments remained in their normal anatomical alignment. The "sequela" designation indicates that this code is used to report a current condition or complication that is a direct result of this previous injury, even if the fracture itself has healed.

This code is appropriate when a patient presents with a long-term complication or residual effect stemming from a previously sustained, nondisplaced medial condyle fracture of the left femur. Examples include chronic pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, or degenerative changes directly attributable to the old fracture. It should be used after the initial healing phase of the fracture has concluded.

• Always assign an additional code to describe the specific sequela (e.g., M25.552 for chronic left knee pain).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the old, nondisplaced medial condyle fracture.
• Do not use this code for the initial treatment of the fracture or for subsequent encounters during the active healing phase.
