Nondisp fx of lateral condyle of r femr, 7thC

This code signifies a break in the outer bony prominence at the bottom of the right thigh bone that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The fracture is exposed to the outside environment through a significant wound, indicating a severe open fracture type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC). This is the initial medical encounter for this specific injury.

Apply this code when documenting the first treatment for a patient presenting with a right lateral femoral condyle fracture that is confirmed as nondisplaced and is classified as an open fracture of type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC. This typically involves cases with extensive soft tissue damage, periosteal stripping, or arterial injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "lateral condyle of right femur."
• Verify the open fracture type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) is explicitly stated by the provider.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for this specific injury; subsequent encounters will use different seventh characters.
