Nondisp suprcndl fx w intrcndl extn low end r femr, 7thE

This code describes a fracture of the lower end of the right thigh bone, specifically above the condyles but extending into the joint surface, that is not displaced. This particular code is used during a follow-up visit for an open fracture (where the bone broke through the skin) of type I or II, and the healing process is proceeding as expected.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced supracondylar fracture with intracondylar extension of the right femur, initially an open fracture type I or II, is presenting for routine follow-up care and the fracture is healing normally. This applies to visits for cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy evaluations during the routine healing phase.

• Ensure the encounter is for a subsequent visit, not the initial treatment.
• Verify the fracture was originally an open fracture type I or II and is currently experiencing routine healing.
• Confirm the fracture location is the lower end of the right femur with both supracondylar and intracondylar involvement.
