S72.454F
ICD-10-CMNondisplaced supracondylar fracture without intracondylar extension of lower end of right femur, subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with routine healing
This code describes a follow-up encounter for a fracture of the lower end of the right femur, specifically a supracondylar fracture that does not extend into the intercondylar area and remains in its normal anatomical position. The initial injury was an open fracture, classified as type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and is now healing as expected without complications.
This code is appropriate for documenting subsequent care for a patient with a previously diagnosed open supracondylar femoral fracture (right side, nondisplaced, no intracondylar extension) that is progressing through a normal healing phase. It would be used for office visits, follow-up imaging, or physical therapy sessions during the routine recovery period.
