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

This code describes a follow-up encounter for a fracture of the lower part of the left thigh bone, specifically above the condyles, that did not involve the joint surface and was initially an open fracture (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC). The fracture has not healed properly, indicating a nonunion.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed open supracondylar femur fracture (left, nondisplaced, no intracondylar extension) that has failed to unite. This includes situations where further surgical intervention or ongoing management for the nonunion is being provided.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" for this subsequent encounter.
• Verify the laterality (left femur) and the absence of intracondylar extension.
• Confirm the original fracture was an open fracture of type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
