Nondisp unsp condyle fx low end l femr, 7thH

This code signifies a fracture of an unspecified condyle at the bottom of the left thigh bone that has not shifted out of alignment. The fracture is an open type I or II, meaning there's a wound communicating with the fracture site, and the bone is healing slower than expected.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced open condylar fracture of the distal left femur. This is specifically for encounters where the open wound was a Type I or II and the healing process is prolonged.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left femur" and "nondisplaced" for accurate code selection.
• Verify the open fracture type (I or II) and evidence of delayed healing are clearly documented.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter would use a different seventh character.
