Nondisp suprcndl fx w intrcndl extn low end r femr, 7thF

This code describes a fracture of the lower end of the right femur that extends above the condyles and also into the condyles, but the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical position. It specifically indicates a follow-up encounter for an open fracture (where the skin was broken) classified as Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Use this code for patients presenting for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed nondisplaced supracondylar fracture with intracondylar extension of the right femur that was initially an open fracture of a severe type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC). This code is appropriate when the physician documents routine healing during the subsequent encounter.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "intracondylar extension" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the encounter is "subsequent" and the original injury was an "open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC" with "routine healing."
• Do not use this code for initial encounters, malunion, nonunion, or other healing complications.
