Disp fx of med condyle of l femr, 7thP

This code signifies a fracture of the inner portion of the lower left thigh bone that has healed improperly, resulting in an abnormal alignment (malunion). The fracture was initially a closed injury, meaning the skin was not broken, and the patient is now in a follow-up phase of care.

This code is appropriate for documenting a patient presenting for ongoing management or evaluation of a previously treated closed medial condyle fracture of the left femur that has developed malunion. It would be used when the fracture is no longer acute but the healing process has resulted in an anatomical deformity.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the left femur's medial condyle.
• Verify the initial fracture was closed and this is a subsequent encounter for care related to the malunion.
• Do not use for nonunion, which indicates a complete failure of bone healing.
