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

This code describes a fracture of the lower part of the left thigh bone, specifically above the condyles, that also extends into the condyles themselves. The bone fragments are still in their normal alignment, and the fracture was initially an open fracture (skin broken) of a less severe type (I or II). This particular encounter is for ongoing management due to the fracture not healing as expected.

Use this code for follow-up encounters when a patient is receiving treatment for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced supracondylar fracture with intracondylar extension of the lower end of the left femur. This is specifically for cases where the initial injury was an open fracture (Type I or II) and the healing process is prolonged or delayed. This code would be appropriate for clinic visits, cast changes, or imaging studies performed during the delayed healing phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "intracondylar extension" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the initial fracture was an "open fracture type I or II" and that healing is explicitly documented as "delayed."
• This "H" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for delayed healing; do not use for initial treatment or routine healing.
