ICD-10-CMDisplaced fracture of medial condyle of right femur, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with delayed healing
This code signifies a displaced fracture of the inner bony prominence at the lower end of the right thigh bone. It specifically indicates that the fracture broke through the skin (open fracture type I or II) and is now in a phase of delayed healing, meaning it is taking longer than expected to mend.
Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed open fracture (Type I or II) of the right medial femoral condyle that is not healing at the anticipated rate. This includes scenarios where the patient is undergoing continued treatment, such as cast changes, wound care, or monitoring for nonunion, due to the prolonged healing process.
