Osteochondral fracture of the lateral femoral condyle is a rare intra‐articular injury with or without patellar dislocation. This kind of disease is commonly seen in the knee joint sprain during strenuous activity. At present, open reduction is often used to treat osteochondral fractures.
Fracture of medial condyle of femur The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S72. 43 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Femoral Condyles – Anatomy: The femoral condyles are located on the end of the thigh bone, or the femur. They are covered by articular cartilage and function as a shock absorber for the knee.
733.82 - Nonunion of fracture.
Medical Definition of medial condyle : a condyle on the inner side of the lower extremity of the femur also : a corresponding eminence on the upper part of the tibia that articulates with the medial condyle of the femur — compare lateral condyle.
Abstract. Subchondral insufficiency fractures are non-traumatic fractures that occur immediately below the cartilage of a joint. Although low bone density may be present concurrently, it is not the underlying cause of subchondral insufficiency fractures in the majority of patients.

The lateral condyle is the lateral portion of the upper extremity of tibia. Upper surface of right tibia. (Anterior is at top.) It serves as the insertion for the biceps femoris muscle (small slip).
Femoral Condyles The medial femoral condyle (MFC) is wider and has a larger articulating surface area than the lateral condyle (LFC), although the LFC is larger anteroposteriorly.
In ICD-10-CM a fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced, and a fracture not designated as open or closed should be coded to closed. While the classification defaults to displaced for fractures, it is very important that complete documentation is encouraged.
Nonunion of bone is the body's inability to heal a fracture. The most agreed-upon standard definition of nonunion made by the FDA is a fracture that persists for a minimum of 9 months without signs of healing for three months.
Fractures are coded using the appropriate 7th character extension for subsequent care for encounters after the patient has completed active treatment of the fracture and is receiving routine care for the fracture during the healing or recovery phase.
Nondisplaced unspecified condyle fracture of lower end of unspecified femur, initial encounter for closed fracture 1 S72.416A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 Short description: Nondisp unsp condyle fx lower end of unsp femur, init 3 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM S72.416A became effective on October 1, 2020. 4 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S72.416A - other international versions of ICD-10 S72.416A may differ.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code.
For codes less than 6 characters that require a 7th character a placeholder 'X' should be assigned for all characters less than 6. The 7th character must always be the 7th position of a code. E.g. The ICD-10-CM code T67.4 (Heat exhaustion due to salt depletion) requires an Episode of Care identifier.
a hoffa fracture is an intra-articular supracondylar distal femoral fracture, characterized by a fracture in the coronal plane.
