Nondisp suprcndl fx w intrcndl extn low end unsp femr, 7thD

This code describes a fracture involving the lower end of the femur, specifically a supracondylar fracture that extends into the condyles, without displacement of the bone fragments. This particular code is used during the healing phase for a fracture that was initially treated non-surgically or has undergone closed reduction, and is now progressing routinely.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced supracondylar fracture with intracondylar extension of the femur is undergoing routine healing. This would include visits for cast changes, physical therapy assessments, or imaging to monitor callus formation, provided there are no complications or delayed healing.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and "intracondylar extension" for accurate code selection.
• The "D" seventh character signifies a subsequent encounter for routine healing; use "A" for initial treatment or "S" for sequelae.
• Confirm the fracture is closed; open fractures would require a different code.
