Nondisp suprcndl fx w/o intrcndl extn low end r femr, 7thB

This code describes a specific type of distal femoral fracture in the right leg, located above the condyles without extending into the joint. It is characterized as nondisplaced, meaning the bone fragments are in their normal anatomical alignment, and is an open fracture of type I or II, indicating a break in the skin.

Use this code for initial encounters when documenting a right-sided supracondylar femoral fracture that is nondisplaced, lacks intracondylar extension, and is classified as an open fracture type I or II. This is applicable for the initial phase of treatment for such an injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "without intracondylar extension" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the laterality is "right" and the encounter is "initial" for this specific code.
• Confirm the open fracture type (I or II) is clearly documented to support this code choice.
