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

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a fracture of the lower end of the left femur, specifically a supracondylar fracture that extends into the condyles, but without displacement of the bone fragments. The fracture is being managed non-surgically (closed treatment) and is progressing as expected with routine healing.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced supracondylar fracture with intracondylar extension of the left femur. It should be used when the fracture is healing routinely and no complications or delayed healing are noted. This code would be selected after the initial treatment encounter.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care and not the initial treatment.
• Verify the fracture is nondisplaced and involves intracondylar extension.
• Confirm the healing is routine; use different codes for delayed or nonunion.
