Nondisp unsp condyle fx low end unsp femr, 7thN

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a fracture of an unspecified condyle at the lower end of the femur that is not displaced. The fracture was initially an open fracture classified as Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and has subsequently failed to heal properly, resulting in a nonunion.

Apply this code when documenting ongoing care for a patient with a previously treated severe open distal femoral condyle fracture that has not united. This includes situations where the patient is undergoing further treatment, evaluation, or management for the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and the initial open fracture type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC).
• This code is for subsequent encounters; use an initial encounter code for the acute injury.
• Verify the fracture is of an unspecified condyle and is nondisplaced.
