Nondisp suprcndl fx w intrcndl extn low end l femr, 7thB

This code signifies a fracture of the lower part of the left thigh bone, specifically above the condyles, that also extends into the joint surface (intracondylar). The bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment (nondisplaced), and the fracture has broken through the skin, classified as an open fracture type I or II.

Apply this code for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, nondisplaced supracondylar fracture of the distal left femur that involves the intracondylar region, and is an open fracture of Gustilo type I or II. This code is appropriate for the acute phase of injury management.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "intracondylar extension" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the fracture is on the "left" femur and that it is an "open fracture type I or II" to match this specific code.
• This "initial encounter" code is only used for the period of active treatment for the fracture. Subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
