Nondisp suprcndl fx w/o intrcndl extn low end unsp femr,7thD

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a fracture of the lower part of the femur, specifically above the condyles, that did not involve the joint surface and remains in its normal anatomical position. The fracture is healing as expected without complications, and the skin over the fracture site is intact.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced supracondylar femoral fracture, and the physician documents routine healing of the closed fracture. It would be used for follow-up appointments, cast changes, or physical therapy sessions during the normal healing period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "without intracondylar extension" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the encounter type is "subsequent" and the healing status is "routine healing" for a closed fracture.
• Confirm the laterality is "unspecified" if not documented.
