Nondisp fx of med condyle of l femr, 7thQ

This code signifies a fracture of the inner portion of the lower left thigh bone that has not shifted out of alignment. It specifically indicates that the fracture was initially an open fracture (meaning the skin was broken) of either Type I or II, and during a follow-up visit, the bone is healing incorrectly, resulting in a malunion.

This code is appropriate for use in subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously treated open Type I or II nondisplaced medial condyle fracture of the left femur presents with evidence of malunion. This would typically be documented by imaging studies and clinical assessment indicating improper healing alignment.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" and not "nonunion" or "delayed healing" for accurate code selection.
• Verify the initial fracture was indeed an open fracture type I or II, as this impacts the "subsequent encounter" category.
• Confirm the fracture is of the medial condyle and is nondisplaced to match the specificity of this code.
