Displ suprcndl fx w intrcndl extn low end l femr, 7thE

This code describes a fracture involving the lower end of the left thigh bone, specifically above the condyles, with the fracture line extending into the joint surface. The bone fragments are not in their anatomical alignment, and the injury is an open fracture (Type I or II) that is currently healing without complications.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced supracondylar fracture of the distal left femur that also involves the condyles, and the initial injury was an open fracture (Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II). This code is appropriate when the fracture is progressing through routine healing stages.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "displaced" and "intracondylar extension" for accurate coding.
• Verify the laterality (left femur) and the encounter type (subsequent encounter for routine healing).
• Confirm the original injury was an open fracture classified as Type I or II.
