Displ suprcndl fx w/o intrcndl extn low end r femr, 7thF

This code describes a follow-up encounter for a displaced fracture of the lower end of the right femur, specifically above the condyles, that does not extend between the condyles. This particular fracture was an open fracture, classified as Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and is currently healing routinely.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed and treated open supracondylar femoral fracture of the right leg. It indicates that the fracture is progressing as expected through the healing process, without complications. Use this code when the patient is seen for cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy related to the healing fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "subsequent encounter" and "routine healing."
• Verify the fracture is explicitly described as "displaced supracondylar" and "without intracondylar extension."
• Confirm the original injury was an "open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC" of the right femur.
