Nondisp fx of med condyle of unsp femr, 7thB

This code describes a fracture of the inner part of the lower thigh bone (femur) that has not shifted out of alignment. The skin over the fracture is broken, but the wound is relatively clean and small, indicating a low-energy injury. This code is specifically for the initial treatment of such an injury when the affected femur is not specified.

Use this code for patients presenting for the first time with a non-displaced open fracture (Gustilo type I or II) of the medial femoral condyle, where the laterality (left or right) of the femur is not documented. This would apply to scenarios like a patient arriving in the emergency department after a fall or minor trauma resulting in this specific type of injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and "open fracture type I or II" for the medial condyle.
• Only use this code for the initial encounter for treatment of the fracture. Subsequent care will require a different seventh character.
• If the laterality (left or right) of the femur is known, a more specific code should be selected.
