S72.462P
ICD-10-CMDisplaced supracondylar fracture with intracondylar extension of lower end of left femur, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with malunion
This code describes a fracture of the lower part of the left thigh bone, specifically above the condyles and extending into the joint, that has not healed correctly. The fracture was initially treated non-surgically (closed reduction) and is now in a state of malunion, meaning the bone fragments have healed in an incorrect anatomical position. This is a follow-up encounter for this specific complication.
Use this code for a patient presenting for ongoing management or evaluation of a malunited supracondylar fracture with intracondylar extension of the left femur, where the initial treatment was closed. This applies to situations where the malunion is being assessed for further intervention, conservative management, or monitoring.
