Displ suprcndl fx w/o intrcndl extn lower end l femur, init

This code signifies a break in the lower part of the left thigh bone (femur), specifically above the knee joint, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. Importantly, this fracture does not extend into the joint surface between the condyles.

Apply this code for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a closed, displaced supracondylar fracture of the left femur that does not involve the intracondylar region. This is appropriate for the first encounter where definitive treatment, such as reduction or casting, is initiated.

• Confirm the fracture is specifically of the left femur and is supracondylar without intracondylar involvement.
• Verify documentation explicitly states "displaced" and "closed fracture."
• Ensure this is the patient's initial encounter for this specific injury; subsequent care will require different seventh characters.
