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

This code describes a fracture of the lower end of the right femur that extends above and into the condyles, where the bone fragments are not properly aligned. This specific code is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and the fracture has healed in an unsatisfactory position (malunion).

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing treatment, evaluation, or management of a previously diagnosed displaced supracondylar fracture with intracondylar extension of the right femur that has resulted in a malunion. This applies to situations such as physical therapy for malunion, surgical correction of the malunion, or follow-up imaging to assess the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right femur" and "malunion" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify that the encounter is for a "subsequent encounter" and not the initial treatment of the fracture.
• Confirm the fracture type is "displaced supracondylar with intracondylar extension" to differentiate from other femoral fractures.
