Displ suprcndl fx w/o intrcndl extn low end r femr, 7thE

This code signifies a fracture of the lower end of the right femur, specifically above the condyles, that has shifted from its normal position and does not extend between the condyles. This particular encounter is for follow-up care of an open fracture (where the bone broke through the skin) classified as Type I or II, and the healing process is proceeding as expected.

Use this code for a patient presenting for a follow-up visit after initial treatment of an open supracondylar femoral fracture (Type I or II) on the right side, where the fracture was displaced but did not involve the intercondylar area, and the physician documents routine healing. This would apply to scenarios such as cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy evaluations during the normal healing phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right femur" and "displaced supracondylar fracture without intracondylar extension."
• Verify the encounter is for subsequent care of an "open fracture type I or II" and that "routine healing" is indicated.
• Do not use for initial treatment, malunion, nonunion, or delayed healing; separate codes exist for those scenarios.
