Nondisp fx of lateral condyle of r femr, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture of the outer bony prominence of the right thigh bone, near the knee, that is not displaced from its normal alignment. The fracture has not healed properly, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care for this ongoing issue.

Apply this code when documentation indicates a patient is being seen for continued management of a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced lateral condyle fracture of the right femur that has failed to unite. This is appropriate for subsequent visits where nonunion is the primary focus of care for a closed fracture.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "lateral condyle of right femur."
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care of a closed fracture with nonunion, not initial treatment or routine healing.
• Confirm laterality (right) is explicitly stated in the medical record.
