Nondisp fx of lateral condyle of r femr, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the outer bony prominence of the right thigh bone, near the knee joint, that is still in its original anatomical position. The patient is receiving ongoing care for this fracture, which is not healing at the expected rate and remains closed (skin intact).

Apply this code when documenting follow-up visits for a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced lateral condyle fracture of the right femur. This is appropriate when the fracture has not yet fully united and the healing process is prolonged beyond the typical timeframe, but the skin over the fracture remains unbroken.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies the "lateral condyle" of the "right femur."
• Verify that the encounter is for subsequent care and that delayed healing is explicitly noted by the provider.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" (no open wound communicating with the fracture site).
