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

This code signifies a supracondylar fracture of the distal right femur that has not displaced and does not extend into the intercondylar notch. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is healing slower than expected without surgical intervention.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed, non-displaced supracondylar fracture of the right femur without intracondylar extension, where the fracture has not yet united and is exhibiting delayed healing. This would be used for encounters such as cast changes, follow-up X-rays showing persistent fracture lines, or physical therapy visits during the delayed healing period.

• Ensure "G" (subsequent encounter for closed fracture with delayed healing) is the correct 7th character, indicating ongoing treatment for a closed fracture with delayed union.
• Verify the fracture is specifically supracondylar, non-displaced, and without intracondylar extension of the right femur.
• Do not use this code for initial encounters, open fractures, or fractures healing normally.
