Nondisp suprcndl fx w/o intrcndl extn low end l femr, 7thD

This code describes a follow-up visit for a fracture of the lower part of the left thigh bone, specifically above the knee joint, that has not shifted out of place and does not extend into the joint itself. At this stage, the fracture is healing as expected without complications, and the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

This code is appropriate for documenting subsequent encounters where a patient with this specific left femoral fracture is undergoing routine follow-up care. It applies when the fracture is healing well and there are no signs of delayed union, nonunion, or other complications. Use this for visits where the patient is progressing through the normal healing process for a closed fracture.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "left" femur and "nondisplaced" without "intracondylar extension."
• Verify the encounter is for "subsequent" care and the healing is "routine" for a "closed" fracture.
• Do not use this code for initial treatment or if complications like delayed healing or infection are present.
