What is a fracture of the femoral condyle? A femoral condyle is the ball-shape located at the end of the femur (thigh bone). There are two condyles on each leg known as the medial and lateral femoral condyles. If there is a fracture (break) in part of the condyle, this is known as a fracture of the femoral condyle.
Subchondral insufficiency fractures are slowly healing fractures of the bone situated immediately below the cartilage of a joint. The prognosis may range from full recovery to rapidly escalating joint destruction.
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.
Osteochondral fractures of lateral femoral condyle are common in adolescents and young adults. They are usually caused by direct trauma or twisting injuries of the knee.
Subchondral insufficiency fracture of the knee (SIF/SIFK) are stress fractures in the femoral condyles or tibial plateau that occur in the absence of acute trauma, typically affecting older adults.
Insufficiency fractures (IFs) are a subtype of stress fractures commonly associated with osteoporosis and Vitamin D deficiency. These nontraumatic fractures often occur in the pelvis and spine, but the involvement of other unusual sites is also not very uncommon.
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.
The medial condyle is one of the two projections on the lower extremity of femur, the other being the lateral condyle. Lower extremity of right femur viewed from below. Left knee-joint from behind, showing interior ligaments.
tibiaThe medial condyle is the medial (or inner) portion of the upper extremity of tibia. Upper surface of right tibia. (Anterior is at top.) It is the site of insertion for the semimembranosus muscle.
Abstract. 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.
This normally takes between 6 to 8 weeks but can be up to 14 weeks. During this time, weight-bearing through the injured side can be gradually increased from non-weight-bearing to toe-touch weight bearing to partial weight-bearing, as pain allows.
Osteochondral fracture of the lateral femoral condyle is a rare injury of the knee joint, which mostly occurs in adolescence1. In adolescence, the cartilage‐bone interface is the weakest transitional area in the knee joint, and there is no obvious boundary between calcified and uncalcified cartilage2.
The majority of sacral insufficiency fractures are treated conservatively. Bed rest, pain medication, treatment for underlying osteoporosis followed by a return to normal activities over a periods of months result in the recovery of the vast majority of patients17,19).
A stress or insufficiency fracture is a crack in a bone that occurs without a definite injury. It occurs as result of repetitive activity as opposed to a single traumatic event that causes a more traditional break or fracture. They are much more common in the lower extremity as these bones are considered weightbearing.
In most cases, you should still be able to walk with a fractured kneecap while the knee is immobilized and healing. Your care team will recommend exercises and weight-bearing restrictions appropriate for each stage of recovery.
Subchondral insufficiency fractures (SIF) are a type of stress fracture which occurs below the cartilage on the weight bearing surface of a bone. SIF occur when normal physiological forces are repeatedly applied to an area of bone compromised by non-tumorous disease, resulting in fracture.
That's the one I've been using, especially if it's an old injury or an injury is not mentioned. But if it's a very current injury of the cartilage, does anyone think 836.0 would be appropriate since it states "Tear of medial cartilage or meniscus of knee, current" - note the "or".
Our doctor often performs stress fracture repairs using Knee Creations calcium phosphate cement and I have trouble with coding this. In this case, it seems he is doing it arthroscopically or percutaneously, and he likes to try to code it as 27509.

Suggestive changes were seen on initial roentgenograms in only one case, whereas increased radio …
