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

This code describes a supracondylar fracture of the distal femur that extends into the condyles, but the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical position. This specific code is used for a subsequent encounter where the initial injury was an open fracture of type I or II, and the fracture has failed to heal properly (nonunion).

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care of a previously treated open supracondylar/intracondylar femoral fracture (Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II) that is now complicated by nonunion. This indicates ongoing management of the unhealed fracture, such as for surgical intervention to promote healing or for continued conservative management.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and "intracondylar extension" for accurate code selection.
• Verify the encounter is "subsequent" and the original fracture was an "open fracture type I or II" with "nonunion."
• Always sequence this code with an external cause code if applicable, to describe the circumstances of the injury.
