Disp fx of lateral condyle of unsp femr, 7thH

This code signifies a fracture of the outer bony prominence at the bottom of the femur, which has shifted from its normal anatomical position. The fracture was initially an open fracture (meaning the skin was broken) of either Type I or II severity, and the bone is now healing slower than expected.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing treatment for a displaced lateral femoral condyle fracture that was initially open (Type I or II) and is exhibiting delayed union. This applies when the patient is still under active treatment for the delayed healing, not for routine follow-up after successful healing.

• Ensure documentation specifies "delayed healing" for an open Type I or II fracture.
• Verify the fracture is of the lateral condyle and is displaced.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
