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

This code describes a fracture of the lower part of the right thigh bone, specifically above the condyles, that also extends into the condyles themselves. The bone fragments are not out of alignment, but the fracture is healing improperly, resulting in a malunion. This code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the fracture.

This code is appropriate for encounters where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed and initially managed nondisplaced supracondylar fracture with intracondylar extension of the right femur, and the fracture is now healing incorrectly (malunion). This would include follow-up appointments, imaging studies to assess the malunion, or discussions regarding corrective procedures.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" and "subsequent encounter" for a closed fracture.
• Verify laterality (right femur) is accurately documented.
• Distinguish from nonunion (failure to heal) or routine follow-up without malunion.
