Nondisp fx of med condyle of l femr, 7thR

This code describes a fracture of the inner part of the lower left thigh bone that was not displaced at the time of injury. It specifically indicates a subsequent encounter for an open fracture (where the bone broke through the skin) of a severe type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) that has healed incorrectly, resulting in malunion.

Use this code when a patient presents for follow-up care or treatment of a previously sustained open fracture of the medial condyle of the left femur, and imaging or clinical assessment confirms malunion. This applies to situations where the initial injury was a severe open fracture (Gustilo-Anderson type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) and the current encounter addresses the complications of its improper healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" and the "subsequent encounter" for the fracture.
• Verify the original injury was an open fracture of the medial condyle of the left femur, specifically Gustilo-Anderson type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• Do not use for initial encounters or for nonunion; specific codes exist for those scenarios.
