Nondisp suprcndl fx w/o intrcndl extn lower end l femr, init

This code signifies a fracture of the lower part of the left femur, specifically above the condyles, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. There is no involvement of the articular surface between the condyles. This represents the initial treatment for a closed fracture, meaning the skin over the fracture site is intact.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced supracondylar fracture of the left femur that does not extend into the intercondylar notch. This is appropriate for the initial encounter where definitive treatment, such as casting or surgical planning, is being initiated for a closed fracture.

• Confirm the fracture is explicitly documented as "nondisplaced" and "without intracondylar extension."
• Verify the laterality is "left" and that this is the patient's first encounter for this specific injury.
• Ensure the fracture is closed; open fractures would require a different seventh character.
