Nondisp fx of lateral condyle of r femr, 7thM

This code describes a fracture of the outer bony prominence at the end of the right thigh bone that has not shifted from its normal position. This specific code is used when the fracture was initially an open fracture (meaning the skin was broken) of either Type I or Type II severity, and the bone fragments are failing to heal together properly.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced open fracture (Type I or II) of the right femoral lateral condyle that is now complicated by nonunion. This would include situations where surgical intervention or other treatments are being performed to address the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "lateral condyle" of the right femur.
• Confirm the original fracture was an "open fracture type I or II" and that "nonunion" is explicitly documented as the current complication.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter for this specific nonunion would use a different code.
