Disp fx of medial condyle of unsp femur, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the medial condyle, the inner rounded prominence at the end of the femur (thigh bone), where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. It specifically indicates that this is the first time the fracture is being treated and that the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial treatment of a closed, displaced fracture of the medial femoral condyle, such as those resulting from direct trauma to the knee or a fall. It would be used when the patient presents for their first medical encounter related to this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "displaced" and "medial condyle" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify that the encounter is indeed the "initial encounter" for this fracture, not a subsequent visit for follow-up care.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" (skin intact) to differentiate from open fractures.
