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

This code describes a fracture of the lower part of the right thigh bone, specifically above the condyles, that has not shifted from its normal position and does not extend into the joint. The fracture is not healing as expected, and the patient is receiving ongoing care for this complication.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a non-healing, non-displaced supracondylar fracture of the right femur without intracondylar extension. This includes situations where the physician is assessing the nonunion, planning further treatment, or managing complications related to the delayed healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" for the closed fracture.
• Verify the fracture is specifically "supracondylar" and "without intracondylar extension."
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment.
