Displ suprcndl fx w intrcndl extn low end r femr, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the lower end of the right femur, specifically above the condyles, which also extends into the condyles themselves. The fracture fragments are not in their anatomical alignment. This particular encounter is for ongoing management of the fracture, which is not healing at the expected rate, and is being treated without surgical intervention.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced supracondylar and intracondylar fracture of the right femur is being monitored for delayed healing. It should be used when the fracture is being managed non-surgically (closed treatment). This code would be selected after the initial treatment encounter.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for a closed fracture.
• Verify the laterality (right femur) and the specific fracture type (supracondylar with intracondylar extension).
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment or a sequela.
