Nondisp unsp condyle fx lower end of right femur, init

This code signifies a fracture of the lower end of the right femur, specifically involving an unspecified condyle, which has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The injury is a closed fracture, meaning the skin remains intact over the fracture site.

This code is appropriate for the initial visit of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the medial or lateral condyle of the right distal femur. It is used when the specific condyle (medial or lateral) is not documented, and the fracture has not broken through the skin.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right femur" and "lower end" or "distal femur."
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly stated as "nondisplaced" and "closed."
• This code is for the initial encounter only; subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
