Displ unsp condyle fx low end unsp femr, 7thP

This code describes a fracture of the lower end of the femur, specifically involving a condyle, where the bone fragments are not properly aligned (displaced) and the specific condyle is not documented. This particular code is for a subsequent encounter where the closed fracture has healed in an imperfect position (malunion).

Use this code for follow-up encounters with a patient who previously sustained a closed, displaced, unspecified femoral condyle fracture and is now presenting with evidence of malunion. This indicates that the fracture has healed, but the alignment is incorrect, potentially leading to functional impairment.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and that the fracture was previously closed.
• Verify that the fracture is of the lower end of the femur and involves a condyle, even if unspecified.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
