Nondisp fx of lateral condyle of unsp femr, 7thE

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient with a nondisplaced fracture of the lateral condyle of an unspecified femur. The initial injury was an open fracture, classified as Type I or II, and is currently healing routinely without complications.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent visits for an open lateral femoral condyle fracture (Type I or II) that is progressing as expected. This includes routine cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy sessions during the healing phase. Do not use for initial treatment or for fractures with delayed or complicated healing.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies "lateral condyle" of the femur.
• Verify the initial fracture was an open Type I or II and that healing is considered routine.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
