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

This code describes a follow-up encounter for a fracture at the lower end of the femur, specifically above the condyles but extending into them, that was initially an open fracture (Type I or II) and has since healed incorrectly (malunion). The fracture itself is not displaced, and the specific femur (left or right) is not documented.

Use this code when documenting a patient's visit for ongoing management or complications related to a previously treated open supracondylar femur fracture with intracondylar extension that has resulted in malunion. This applies to situations where the laterality of the femur is not specified in the medical record.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies an "open fracture type I or II" for the initial injury.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
• Confirm that the medical record does not specify whether the left or right femur was affected.
