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

This code describes a follow-up encounter for a left lower femur fracture located above the condyles, which did not involve the joint surface and remains in its anatomical position. The initial injury was an open fracture, classified as severe (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC), and is currently healing without complications.

This code is appropriate for documenting subsequent visits for patients with a previously diagnosed severe open supracondylar fracture of the left femur that was nondisplaced and did not extend into the joint, and is now progressing through a normal healing process. It would be used when the patient is receiving ongoing care, such as cast changes, physical therapy evaluations, or routine follow-up appointments, after the initial treatment of the open fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "subsequent encounter" and "routine healing" for this specific fracture type.
• Verify the fracture is nondisplaced and does not have intracondylar extension.
• Confirm the initial injury was an open fracture classified as Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
