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

This code describes a supracondylar fracture of the distal left femur that has healed in a misaligned position (malunion), but without the fracture extending into the knee joint's articular surface. The fracture was initially nondisplaced, meaning the bone fragments remained in their anatomical position at the time of injury. This specific code is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for this malunion.

Use this code for a patient presenting for ongoing management of a previously treated, nondisplaced supracondylar fracture of the left femur that has healed with malunion. This applies to scenarios such as monitoring the malunion, planning for corrective surgery, or managing symptoms related to the malunion. It is appropriate for any encounter after the initial treatment phase, where the malunion is the focus of care.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies "nondisplaced" and "without intracondylar extension."
• Verify the laterality (left femur) and the encounter type (subsequent encounter).
• Do not use this code for nonunion; a different code would be required for that complication.
