Nondisp fx of lateral condyle of l femr, 7thM

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a patient who previously sustained a nondisplaced fracture of the outer bony prominence of their left thigh bone. The initial injury was an open fracture, meaning the skin was broken, and it is now complicated by a failure of the bone to heal properly (nonunion).

Apply this code for subsequent encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing treatment for a left lateral femoral condyle fracture that was initially open (Type I or II) and has not united. This includes situations like cast changes, wound care, or evaluation for surgical intervention due to the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies the "left" side.
• Verify the original injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that "nonunion" is explicitly documented.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; use the initial encounter code for the first visit.
