Nondisp suprcndl fx w intrcndl extn lower end l femur, init

This code describes a fracture of the lower part of the left thigh bone, specifically above the condyles, that also extends into the condylar area itself. The bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment, and the injury is being treated for the first time.

This code is appropriate for documenting an initial encounter for a closed, non-displaced fracture of the distal left femur that involves both the supracondylar region and extends into the intracondylar area. This would be used when the patient presents for initial treatment of such an injury, prior to definitive surgical or non-surgical management.

• Verify laterality (left femur) and the specific fracture location (supracondylar with intracondylar extension).
• Confirm the fracture is non-displaced and that this is the initial encounter for treatment.
• Ensure the documentation specifies a closed fracture, meaning the skin is intact over the fracture site.
