Nondisp fx of med condyle of unsp femr, 7thH

This code signifies a fracture of the inner part of the lower thigh bone that has not shifted out of alignment. It specifically applies when the skin was broken (an open fracture, type I or II) at the time of injury, and the bone is now healing slower than expected during a follow-up visit.

Apply this code for patients presenting for ongoing management of a previously sustained, nondisplaced open fracture (Type I or II) of the medial femoral condyle, where the healing process is documented as delayed. This would be used in a subsequent encounter after the initial treatment of the fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "medial condyle" of the femur.
• Verify the original injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that healing is explicitly noted as "delayed."
• This "H" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for delayed healing, not the initial treatment or routine healing.
