Nondisp fx of med condyle of unsp femr, 7thN

This code signifies a fracture of the inner portion of the lower thigh bone that has not shifted out of alignment. It specifically indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care for a severe open fracture (where the bone broke through the skin) that has failed to heal properly.

Apply this code when documenting ongoing treatment for a patient with a previously sustained, severe open fracture of the medial femoral condyle that is now complicated by nonunion. This would be used for follow-up visits, surgical interventions for nonunion, or other management related to the delayed healing of the original fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "medial condyle" of the femur.
• Verify that the original injury was an open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC and that nonunion is explicitly stated.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter for this specific nonunion would use a different code.
