Nondisp suprcndl fx w/o intrcndl extn lower end r femr, sqla

This code signifies a chronic or late-stage complication arising from a fracture of the lower part of the right thigh bone, specifically above the knee joint. The fracture itself was not displaced and did not extend into the knee joint. "Sequela" indicates that the patient is experiencing a residual condition or long-term effect directly attributable to this past injury.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current problem or complication that is a direct result of a previously sustained, nondisplaced supracondylar fracture of the right femur without intracondylar extension. This could include chronic pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, or deformity that persists after the initial healing phase of the fracture. It is used when the acute fracture has healed, but its long-term effects are being addressed.

• This code is for sequelae, meaning the acute fracture has already healed. Do not use for active fracture treatment.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the specified past fracture.
• Always assign an additional code to describe the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion, nonunion).
