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

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 anatomical position, but the fracture is healing incorrectly, resulting in a malunion. This particular code is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for this malunited closed fracture.

This code is appropriate for documenting subsequent encounters for a patient whose nondisplaced supracondylar fracture with intracondylar extension of the left femur has healed improperly. This would include visits for assessment of the malunion, planning for corrective surgery, or ongoing management of symptoms related to the malunion. It should be used after the initial treatment of the fracture has concluded and the malunion has been identified.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "intracondylar extension" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the encounter is for "subsequent care" and that "malunion" is explicitly documented as the outcome of the closed fracture.
• Always confirm laterality (left femur) to avoid coding errors.
