Nondisp fx of med condyle of unsp femr, 7thG

This code signifies a non-displaced break in the inner portion of the lower thigh bone, where the fracture has not shifted out of alignment. It indicates that the patient is in a later stage of healing for this closed fracture, but the healing process is taking longer than expected.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed non-displaced medial femoral condyle fracture is experiencing delayed union. It should be used when the fracture is still closed and the patient is receiving ongoing care for the delayed healing, such as cast changes, physical therapy, or monitoring.

• Always confirm the fracture is non-displaced and specifically located on the medial condyle of the femur.
• Ensure the encounter is for subsequent care and the fracture is documented as closed with delayed healing.
• Pair with an external cause code if the cause of the fracture is known and relevant to the encounter.
