Displ suprcndl fx w intrcndl extn low end l femr, 7thH

This code describes a fracture of the lower end of the left thigh bone (femur) that extends into the joint (intracondylar) and is no longer in its normal anatomical position (displaced). This specific encounter indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for an open fracture (Type I or II) that is not healing as expected.

Use this code for a patient presenting for a subsequent visit related to an open supracondylar and intracondylar fracture of the distal left femur, where the fracture is displaced and demonstrating delayed healing. This applies when the initial treatment has been rendered and the patient is in the healing phase, but progress is slower than anticipated.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "delayed healing" for the subsequent encounter.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly stated as "displaced" and involves both supracondylar and intracondylar components.
• Confirm the laterality is "left" and the original injury was an "open fracture type I or II."
