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

This code describes a fracture of the lower end of the left femur, specifically a supracondylar fracture that extends into the intracondylar region. The fracture is nondisplaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. This particular code is for a subsequent encounter where a previously open fracture (Type I or II) has healed incorrectly, resulting in malunion.

Use this code for follow-up visits or ongoing treatment of a patient who sustained an open supracondylar and intracondylar fracture of the distal left femur, and the fracture has now healed in an abnormal position (malunion). This applies when the initial injury was classified as an open fracture type I or II.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" and the "subsequent encounter" for this specific fracture type.
• Verify the initial injury was an "open fracture type I or II" as this is a key component of the code.
• Confirm the fracture is of the "left femur" and is "nondisplaced" with "supracondylar" and "intracondylar extension."
