Disp fx of lateral condyle of left femur, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the outer bony prominence at the bottom of the left thigh bone, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. This specific injury involves the lateral condyle, a crucial part of the knee joint.

Apply this code for initial treatment of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-surgical (closed) fracture of the left femoral lateral condyle that shows displacement on imaging. This would be used for the first encounter where definitive treatment for the fracture is planned or initiated.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left" femur and "lateral condyle" for accurate laterality and anatomical site.
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly documented as "displaced" and "closed."
• This "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter; use subsequent encounter codes for follow-up care.
