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

This code describes a specific type of fracture affecting the lower end of the right femur, above the knee joint, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. Importantly, this fracture does not extend into the joint surface, and it is being treated for a nonunion, meaning the fracture has failed to heal after a typical healing period.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters for a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced supracondylar fracture of the right femur without intracondylar extension, where the fracture has not healed. This would include visits for ongoing management of the nonunion, such as evaluation for surgical intervention, cast changes, or monitoring of healing progress.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and not delayed healing or malunion.
• Verify the laterality (right femur) and absence of intracondylar extension are explicitly stated.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
