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

This code describes a previously treated, non-displaced fracture of the lower left femur, specifically involving the supracondylar region with an extension into the condyles. The subsequent encounter indicates that the initial open fracture (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) is now complicated by malunion, meaning the bone has healed in an incorrect anatomical position.

Use this code for follow-up encounters with a patient who has a documented history of an open supracondylar and intracondylar fracture of the left femur that has healed improperly. This applies when the malunion is being assessed, monitored, or treated, and the initial fracture was classified as an open Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" as the complication of the previous open fracture.
• Verify the laterality (left femur) and the specific fracture type (supracondylar with intracondylar extension).
• Confirm that the original fracture was an open fracture classified as Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
