Nondisp fx of medial condyle of right femur, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a fracture of the medial condyle of the right femur, where the bone fragments were not displaced at the time of the initial injury. It indicates that the acute phase of the fracture has passed, and the patient is now experiencing a long-term effect or complication related to that past injury.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic issue, such as pain, stiffness, or functional limitation, that is directly attributable to a previously sustained, nondisplaced medial condyle fracture of the right femur. This applies when the initial fracture has healed, but its lasting impact is still being addressed.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous fracture as a sequela.
• Do not use this code for acute or subacute fractures; use the appropriate initial encounter or subsequent encounter codes.
• Always code any associated current symptoms or complications (e.g., chronic pain, osteoarthritis) in addition to this sequela code.
