ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of medial condyle of right femur, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with nonunion
This code signifies a follow-up visit for a patient who previously sustained a nondisplaced fracture of the inner part of the right thigh bone, specifically the medial condyle. The original injury was an open fracture, meaning the skin was broken, and it was classified as type I or II. At this subsequent encounter, the fracture has not healed as expected, indicating a nonunion.
This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing care for a patient with a right femoral medial condyle fracture that was initially open (Type I or II) and is now experiencing delayed or failed healing. This would include clinic visits, imaging studies, or surgical interventions aimed at addressing the nonunion. It should be used after the initial treatment of the acute fracture.
