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

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 are still in their normal anatomical position. The patient is in a later stage of treatment for this fracture, and the bone has failed to heal properly.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced supracondylar fracture with intracondylar extension of the right femur is being treated for a nonunion. This indicates that despite initial treatment, the fracture fragments have not successfully united.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right" femur and "nondisplaced" fracture with "intracondylar extension."
• The "K" seventh character is crucial, indicating a subsequent encounter for a closed fracture with nonunion.
• Verify that the nonunion is explicitly documented by the provider, not just delayed healing.
