S72.001G
ICD-10-CMFracture of unspecified part of neck of right femur, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with delayed healing
This code signifies a patient presenting for follow-up care of a right femoral neck fracture that is not yet fully healed, and the specific location of the fracture on the femoral neck was not documented. The fracture was initially treated without surgical intervention or open exposure of the fracture site.
Apply this code when a patient with a previously diagnosed closed fracture of the right femoral neck is seen for an encounter focused on monitoring healing progress, and the healing is slower than expected. This is appropriate for office visits, imaging reviews, or physical therapy sessions related to the ongoing management of the unhealed fracture.
