Nondisp fx of low epiphy (separation) of l femr, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a fracture located at the growth plate (epiphysis) of the lower end of the left thigh bone. The fracture is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment, and it is currently healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced Salter-Harris type I or II fracture of the distal left femur. It indicates that the fracture is closed (skin intact) and progressing through a normal healing process. This would be used after the initial treatment has been rendered.

• Ensure documentation specifies "subsequent encounter" and "routine healing" for this specific fracture type and location.
• Verify the laterality (left femur) is clearly documented.
• Distinguish from initial encounters or encounters for delayed/nonunion healing, which require different seventh characters.
