ICD-10-CMNondisplaced supracondylar fracture with intracondylar extension of lower end of right femur, initial encounter for closed fracture
This code signifies a fracture of the lower part of the right thigh bone (femur) that extends into the knee joint, specifically above the condyles with an additional break within the condyles themselves. The bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical position (nondisplaced), and the skin over the fracture is intact (closed).
This code is appropriate for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, nondisplaced supracondylar fracture of the right femur that also involves an intracondylar extension. It is used when the fracture has not broken through the skin and the patient is receiving active treatment for the injury.
