Nondisp fx of medial condyle of left femur, init for clos fx

This code signifies a fracture of the medial condyle of the left femur that has not displaced from its anatomical position. It specifically applies to the initial encounter for managing this closed fracture, meaning the skin over the fracture site is intact.

Use this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the left femoral medial condyle. This would include scenarios such as an elderly patient falling and sustaining this injury, or a younger individual experiencing trauma leading to the fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "medial condyle" for laterality and specificity.
• Confirm this is the "initial encounter" for treatment of the closed fracture. Subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
• Always code the underlying cause of the fracture (e.g., fall, direct trauma) with an external cause code.
