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

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a right distal femur fracture located above the condyles, which does not extend into the joint. Specifically, it indicates that the initial injury was an open fracture (Type I or II) and has subsequently healed with an abnormal alignment or deformity.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing management of a previously treated open supracondylar femoral fracture of the right leg that has resulted in malunion. This applies to situations such as follow-up appointments for physical therapy, assessment of malunion for potential corrective surgery, or monitoring of complications related to the malunion.

• Ensure documentation specifies an open fracture (Type I or II) and evidence of malunion.
• Verify laterality (right femur) and the absence of intracondylar extension.
• This "Q" encounter code is used for sequelae, indicating a complication or condition arising as a direct result of the initial injury.
