ICD-10-CMNondisplaced supracondylar fracture with intracondylar extension of lower end of left femur, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with delayed healing
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. The bone fragments are still in their normal alignment, and the patient is in a later stage of care for this injury, experiencing slower-than-expected healing without surgical intervention.
Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a left supracondylar femur fracture that involves the intracondylar region, where the fracture is not displaced and is being managed non-surgically. This is appropriate when the healing process is prolonged beyond the typical timeframe.
