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

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a right femur fracture located just above the knee joint, which has not shifted from its original position and does not extend into the joint itself. The fracture is currently healing as expected without complications, and the treatment involved non-surgical methods.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent care for a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced supracondylar fracture of the right distal femur, treated non-surgically, and showing routine healing progress. This would include follow-up appointments for cast checks, physical therapy evaluations, or imaging to monitor healing.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right femur" and "nondisplaced supracondylar fracture without intracondylar extension."
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a closed fracture with routine healing.
• Do not use for initial treatment, malunion, nonunion, or open fractures.
