Disp fx of med condyle of l femr, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture of the inner bony prominence of the left thigh bone, which has shifted from its normal alignment. The fracture has not healed after an initial treatment, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care related to this ongoing nonunion.

Apply this code for a patient who previously sustained a displaced medial condyle fracture of the left femur, and subsequent imaging or clinical assessment confirms that the fracture fragments have failed to unite. This code is appropriate for encounters where the patient is receiving ongoing management for the nonunion, such as evaluation for bone grafting or revision fixation.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displaced" and "medial condyle" of the left femur.
• The "K" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a closed fracture with nonunion; verify the fracture was initially closed.
• Do not use for initial treatment of the fracture or for malunion (incorrect healing).
