Incomplete atypical femoral fracture, right leg, 7thD

This code signifies an incomplete fracture of the right femur, characterized by atypical features such as a transverse or short oblique fracture pattern, often with cortical thickening. It indicates that the fracture is currently undergoing routine healing during a follow-up visit.

Apply this code for a patient presenting for a subsequent visit related to an incompletely healed atypical femoral fracture of the right leg, where the healing process is progressing as expected. Documentation should confirm the atypical nature of the fracture, its location on the right femur, and the stage of healing (subsequent encounter with routine healing).

• Ensure documentation specifies "incomplete" and "atypical" for accurate coding.
• Verify laterality (right leg) is clearly documented.
• Distinguish from nonunion or malunion, which would require different subsequent encounter codes.
