Displ suprcndl fx w/o intrcndl extn low end l femr, 7thB

This code identifies a break in the lower part of the left thigh bone, specifically above the knee joint, that has shifted out of its normal alignment. The fracture does not extend into the knee joint itself, and the skin is broken, exposing the bone, classified as an open fracture of type I or II severity.

Apply this code for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with an open supracondylar fracture of the distal left femur that does not involve the intercondylar area. This is used when the injury is new and the patient is receiving active treatment for the fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left" femur and "supracondylar" without "intracondylar extension."
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly documented as an "open fracture type I or II" and this is the "initial encounter."
• Do not use for closed fractures, subsequent encounters, or fractures with intracondylar involvement.
