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

This code describes a fracture of the lower part of the left thigh bone, specifically above the condyles, that also extends into the joint surface, but where the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. This particular code is used when the patient is seen for follow-up care and the fracture has not healed as expected (nonunion) after initial treatment without surgery.

Use this code for a patient presenting for a follow-up visit for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced supracondylar fracture with intracondylar extension of the left femur, where imaging or clinical assessment indicates that the fracture has failed to unite. This applies to situations where the initial treatment was non-surgical (closed management).

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and "intracondylar extension" for accurate specificity.
• Verify that the encounter is for subsequent care and that "nonunion" is explicitly documented.
• Confirm the laterality is "left femur" to avoid coding errors.
