Nondisp fx of med condyle of unsp femr, 7thJ

This code signifies a fracture of the inner portion of the lower thigh bone that has not shifted from its anatomical position. The fracture was initially an open injury, classified as a severe open fracture (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC), and the patient is now presenting for follow-up care due to a delay in the expected healing process.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced medial condyle femur fracture, initially an open Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, is experiencing delayed healing. This would be used for ongoing management, such as wound care, imaging to assess healing progress, or adjustments to treatment plans.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and identifies the "medial condyle" of the femur.
• Verify the initial fracture was documented as an open Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC to justify the 7th character "J".
• This code is for delayed healing; use different 7th characters for routine healing, nonunion, or malunion.
