Nondisp suprcndl fx w intrcndl extn low end unsp femr, 7thB

This code describes a fracture at the very bottom of the femur (thigh bone) that extends into the knee joint, but the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. It specifically indicates an open fracture, meaning the skin was broken, and it's the initial treatment encounter for this injury.

Use this code for a patient presenting for the first time with a supracondylar femoral fracture that also involves the intracondylar region, where the fracture fragments are not displaced. This code is appropriate when the injury is classified as an open fracture of type I or II according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "intracondylar extension" to support this specific code.
• Verify the "initial encounter" status and the Gustilo-Anderson open fracture type (I or II) are clearly documented.
• Do not use this code for displaced fractures, closed fractures, or subsequent encounters for the same injury.
