Disp fx of lateral condyle of r femr, 7thH

This code signifies a fracture of the outer bony prominence at the end of the right thigh bone that has shifted from its normal alignment. The fracture was initially an open wound (Type I or II), and the patient is now presenting for follow-up care due to a slower-than-expected healing process.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced open fracture (Type I or II) of the right femoral lateral condyle is experiencing delayed union. This would apply to visits for ongoing management, assessment of healing progress, or interventions related to the delayed healing.

• Ensure documentation specifies "delayed healing" for this specific encounter.
• Verify the fracture was initially classified as an open fracture Type I or II.
• Confirm the laterality (right) and the specific anatomical site (lateral condyle of femur).
