Displ unsp condyle fx low end l femr, 7thN

This code describes a fracture involving the lower end of the left femur, specifically an unspecified condyle, which is out of its normal alignment. It indicates a complication where the open fracture, classified as type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, has failed to heal properly in a subsequent encounter.

Use this code for patients presenting for follow-up care of a previously treated open fracture of the left femoral condyle that has not united. This applies when the initial open fracture was severe (Gustilo-Anderson types IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) and the bone fragments have not fused together.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left" femur and "unspecified condyle" for accurate laterality and anatomical site.
• Confirm the encounter is for "subsequent care" and the nonunion is explicitly documented.
• Verify the original open fracture was classified as Gustilo-Anderson type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
