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

This code describes a fracture of the lower end of the left femur, specifically a supracondylar fracture that extends into the condyles, which has not been displaced. It indicates a subsequent encounter for an open fracture (types IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) that has failed to heal properly, resulting in a nonunion.

Use this code for follow-up encounters when a patient presents with a previously treated, but unhealed, open supracondylar fracture with intracondylar extension of the left femur. This applies when the fracture was initially classified as an open type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC and has now progressed to a nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "intracondylar extension" for the supracondylar fracture.
• Verify the encounter is "subsequent" and that the open fracture type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) and "nonunion" are explicitly documented.
• Confirm the laterality is "left femur" to accurately apply this specific code.
