Oth osteopor w crnt path fx, r femur, subs for fx w malunion

This code signifies a patient presenting with a pathological fracture of the right femur due to osteoporosis, where the fracture has healed improperly (malunion). This specific encounter is for ongoing management of the malunited fracture, not the initial treatment.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with osteoporosis has a previously treated right femoral pathological fracture that has resulted in malunion. Documentation should clearly state "osteoporosis," "pathological fracture," "right femur," "malunion," and indicate a "subsequent encounter" or ongoing care for the malunion.

• Ensure documentation specifies "pathological fracture" due to osteoporosis, not a traumatic fracture.
• Verify the laterality (right femur) and the encounter type (subsequent for malunion).
• Do not use this code for initial fracture treatment or for nonunion; specific codes exist for those scenarios.
