Displ suprcndl fx w/o intrcndl extn lower end r femur, init

This code signifies a break in the lower part of the right thigh bone, specifically above the knee joint, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. This fracture does not extend into the joint surface itself.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-articulating supracondylar fracture of the right femur that is displaced. This is appropriate for the initial treatment phase of a closed fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "without intracondylar extension."
• Verify the laterality is "right" and the encounter is "initial."
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" (skin intact) before assigning this code.
