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

This code describes a fracture of the lower part of the left thigh bone, specifically above the knee joint, that has not shifted out of alignment and does not extend into the joint itself. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "nonunion" signifies that the bone fragments have failed to heal together after a typical healing period.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing management of a previously diagnosed, non-displaced supracondylar fracture of the distal left femur without intracondylar extension, where imaging or clinical assessment confirms that the fracture has not united. This would apply to follow-up appointments, cast changes, or discussions regarding further intervention for the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "without intracondylar extension" for accurate code selection.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care of the fracture and not the initial treatment.
• Confirm that the physician's assessment explicitly states "nonunion" to justify this specific seventh character.
