ICD-10-CMDisplaced fracture of lateral condyle of right femur, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with delayed healing
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.
