Displ suprcndl fx w intrcndl extn low end unsp femr, 7thD

This code describes a follow-up encounter for a fracture located just above the knee joint, extending into the joint itself, in an unspecified femur. The fracture was initially displaced but is now being treated as a closed fracture that is healing routinely.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a supracondylar fracture with intracondylar extension of the distal femur. It specifically applies when the fracture was initially displaced, is now closed, and is progressing through a normal healing process.

• Ensure documentation specifies "subsequent encounter" and "routine healing" for a closed fracture.
• Verify the fracture location includes both supracondylar and intracondylar extension.
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures with delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
