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

This code describes a follow-up encounter for a previously treated supracondylar fracture of the distal femur that did not extend into the joint and is now healing with a deformity (malunion). The fracture was initially closed, meaning the skin was intact, and the specific femur (left or right) is not documented.

Use this code for subsequent visits where a patient is being managed for a malunited, nondisplaced supracondylar fracture of an unspecified femur. This includes evaluations for ongoing pain, functional limitations, or planning for corrective procedures related to the malunion. It is appropriate when the fracture is no longer in the acute healing phase but is still under active treatment for its complications.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and that the fracture is no longer acute.
• Verify that the fracture is supracondylar, nondisplaced, and without intracondylar extension.
• If the laterality (left or right femur) is specified in the documentation, a more specific code should be chosen.
