Nondisp fx of lateral condyle of r femr, 7thE

This code signifies a fracture of the outer bony prominence at the bottom of the right thigh bone that has not shifted from its normal position. The fracture was initially an open fracture (meaning the skin was broken), classified as type I or II, and is now in a routine healing phase during a follow-up visit.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced open fracture (type I or II) of the right lateral femoral condyle is receiving ongoing care and the fracture is healing as expected. It should be used after the initial treatment phase, indicating routine follow-up for fracture management.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "lateral condyle" of the right femur.
• Verify the initial injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that the current encounter is for "routine healing."
• Do not use this code for initial treatment, malunion, nonunion, or delayed healing.
