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

This code describes a fracture of the lower part of the femur, specifically above the condyles and extending into the condyles, which has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a later stage of recovery for this fracture, and the healing process is taking longer than expected, but the fracture is being managed without surgery.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced supracondylar femoral fracture with intracondylar extension. It is specifically used when documentation indicates delayed healing of the closed fracture, and the treatment remains non-surgical.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" for a closed fracture.
• Verify the fracture is nondisplaced and involves both supracondylar and intracondylar regions of the distal femur.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
