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

This code describes a fracture of the lower end of the right femur, specifically above the condyles, that has not shifted out of alignment and does not extend into the joint. The fracture was initially an open fracture (Type I or II), and despite treatment, the bone fragments have failed to heal together.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced supracondylar fracture of the right femur that was initially open, and nonunion of the fracture is confirmed. This applies to ongoing management, assessment of nonunion, or planning for further intervention.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the right femur.
• Verify the initial fracture was an "open fracture type I or II" and that there is no intracondylar extension.
• This code is for subsequent encounters only; an initial encounter would use a different code.
