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

This code describes a fracture of the lower end of the left femur that extends above and into the condyles, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical position. It specifically indicates an open fracture (Type I or II) that is now in a routine healing phase, following initial treatment.

Use this code for follow-up encounters of a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced supracondylar fracture with intracondylar extension of the left femur, which was an open fracture. This code is appropriate when the fracture is healing without complications and the patient is receiving routine post-operative or post-injury care.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "intracondylar extension" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the encounter is for "subsequent care" and that the fracture is healing routinely, not experiencing delayed healing or nonunion.
• Confirm the original injury was an "open fracture type I or II" as this impacts the 7th character.
