Disp fx of med condyle of unsp femr, 7thF

This code describes a fracture of the inner part of the lower thigh bone that has shifted out of alignment. It specifically indicates that this is not the initial treatment for the injury, and the fracture is an open type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC), meaning the bone broke through the skin, and is now healing normally.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a displaced open fracture of the medial femoral condyle. This applies when the fracture was initially classified as an open type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC and is progressing through routine healing.

• Ensure documentation specifies a "subsequent encounter" and "routine healing" for an open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• Verify the fracture location is precisely the "medial condyle of the femur."
• Do not use this code for initial encounters or for fractures with delayed union, nonunion, or malunion.
