Nondisp fx of lateral condyle of r femr, 7thB

This code signifies a break in the outer bony prominence of the right thigh bone, specifically at the knee joint, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. The fracture has broken through the skin, but the wound is relatively clean and small, indicating a low-energy injury.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced open fracture of the right lateral femoral condyle, where the open wound is classified as Type I or Type II according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification. This code is appropriate for the initial treatment encounter for this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "lateral condyle" of the right femur.
• Verify the Gustilo-Anderson classification of the open fracture is Type I or Type II.
• Confirm this is the patient's initial encounter for treatment of this fracture.
