Disp fx of med condyle of unsp femr, 7thP

This code signifies a fracture of the inner bony prominence of the lower thigh bone that has healed improperly, resulting in a deformity. The fracture was initially displaced, meaning the bone fragments were not in their normal alignment, and this code is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for this malunion.

This code is appropriate for encounters where a patient is being treated for complications arising from a previously sustained, displaced medial condyle femoral fracture that has healed in a misaligned position. This includes evaluations for corrective surgery, physical therapy for functional impairment due to malunion, or monitoring of the malunion's impact.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the "medial condyle" of the femur.
• Verify this is a "subsequent encounter" for the fracture, indicating ongoing care after the initial treatment phase.
• Confirm the fracture was "closed" and "displaced" initially, as these details are integral to this specific code.
