Nondisp suprcndl fx w/o intrcndl extn low end l femr, 7thE

This code describes a follow-up encounter for a specific type of left femur fracture in its healing phase. It indicates a supracondylar fracture, meaning it's above the condyles, that is not displaced and does not extend into the joint (intracondylar). The initial injury was an open fracture (Type I or II), and the healing is progressing routinely.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient is receiving follow-up care for a left supracondylar femur fracture that was initially an open fracture. The fracture must be nondisplaced, without intracondylar extension, and showing routine healing. This applies to visits for cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy during the healing period.

• Ensure the encounter is for a subsequent visit, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the left femur, is nondisplaced, and without intracondylar extension.
• Confirm the original injury was an open fracture type I or II and that healing is routine.
