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

This code describes a follow-up encounter for a left femoral supracondylar fracture that did not involve the joint surface and remained in its normal anatomical position. The initial injury was an open fracture, classified as Type I or II, and is now experiencing delayed healing.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed left nondisplaced supracondylar open fracture (Type I or II) of the distal femur is being managed for delayed bone healing. This includes situations where the patient is undergoing continued treatment, monitoring, or evaluation for the slow progression of fracture consolidation.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "subsequent encounter" and "delayed healing" for an open fracture type I or II.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the left femur, nondisplaced, and supracondylar without intracondylar extension.
• Do not use for initial encounters, routine healing, or nonunion; separate codes exist for those scenarios.
