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

This code describes a follow-up visit for a patient who sustained a non-displaced fracture of the lower end of the right femur, specifically above the condyles and without extension into the joint. The initial injury was an open fracture, classified as type I or II, and is now experiencing delayed healing.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed open supracondylar femoral fracture (type I or II) of the right leg is being managed for delayed healing. This includes appointments for monitoring fracture progress, wound care related to the open nature of the initial injury, or adjustments to treatment plans due to the delayed union.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "delayed healing" for the open fracture.
• Verify the fracture is non-displaced and without intracondylar extension.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment.
