Disp fx of med condyle of l femr, 7thH

This code signifies a fracture of the inner portion of the lower left thigh bone that has shifted out of its normal alignment. It specifically indicates that the initial injury was an open fracture (meaning the bone broke through the skin) classified as Type I or II, and the healing process is taking longer than expected.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced medial condyle fracture of the left femur. This is appropriate when the initial injury was an open fracture (Type I or II) and the physician notes delayed healing during the current encounter.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "delayed healing" for the open fracture.
• Verify the laterality (left femur) and the specific condyle (medial).
• Confirm the initial injury was an open fracture Type I or II; otherwise, a different subsequent encounter code would be appropriate.
