Nondisp fx of lateral condyle of r femr, 7thQ

This code describes a fracture of the outer bony prominence of the right thigh bone, near the knee, that has not shifted from its normal position. The initial injury was an open fracture (meaning the skin was broken) of either Type I or II, and the bone has healed in an imperfect or misaligned way. This code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the fracture.

Apply this code when documenting ongoing management or follow-up for a patient whose right lateral femoral condyle fracture, initially an open Type I or II, has subsequently healed with malunion. This would be used for encounters such as physical therapy, cast changes, or follow-up X-rays to monitor the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "lateral condyle of right femur."
• Verify the original fracture was an "open fracture type I or II" and that "malunion" is explicitly documented.
• This "Q" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with malunion, not initial treatment or routine healing.
