Nondisp fx of med condyle of unsp femr, 7thQ

This code describes a situation where a patient has a fracture of the inner part of the lower thigh bone that is still in its correct anatomical position. This particular encounter is for follow-up care of an open fracture (where the skin was broken) that has not healed properly, resulting in a deformity. The specific type of open fracture is either Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced medial condyle femur fracture that was an open fracture (Type I or II) and is now exhibiting malunion. This applies to follow-up visits, cast changes, or other ongoing management related to the fracture's improper healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "malunion" for the medial condyle fracture.
• Verify the original injury was an open fracture, specifically Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II.
• This "Q" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for an open fracture with malunion; do not use for initial treatment or routine healing.
