Nondisp fx of med condyle of unsp femr, 7thP

This code signifies a fracture of the inner bony prominence at the end of the femur (thigh bone) that has not shifted from its original position. The fracture is currently healing, but it is doing so imperfectly, resulting in a malunion. This code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the closed fracture.

Apply this code when a patient presents for ongoing management of a previously treated, non-displaced medial femoral condyle fracture that is now demonstrating signs of malunion. This would typically occur during subsequent visits after the initial cast application or surgical fixation, where imaging confirms the bone is healing in an undesirable alignment.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the "medial condyle" of the femur.
• Verify this is a subsequent encounter for a closed fracture, not an open one or the initial treatment.
• Confirm the fracture is "nondisplaced" at the time of the initial injury.
