Nondisp unsp condyle fx low end unsp femr, 7thK

This code describes a fracture of an unspecified condyle at the lower end of the femur that is not displaced. It specifically indicates a subsequent encounter for a closed fracture that has developed nonunion, meaning the bone fragments have failed to heal together after a period of time.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient is being managed for a previously diagnosed, closed, nondisplaced condylar fracture of the distal femur that has not healed. It signifies that the fracture is still present and ununited, but the initial treatment (e.g., casting, splinting) has already occurred.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" for a closed, nondisplaced condylar fracture of the distal femur.
• Verify this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment phase.
• Confirm the fracture is specifically of a condyle at the lower end of the femur.
