Fx unsp prt of nk of r femr, 7thH

This code describes a fracture of an unspecified part of the neck of the right femur that was initially an open fracture (Type I or II) and is now being treated during a subsequent encounter due to delayed healing. This indicates the bone is not mending at the expected rate, requiring continued medical attention.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient is being managed for a right femoral neck fracture that was initially open and is now exhibiting delayed union. This applies when the physician is assessing the progress of healing, performing interventions related to the delayed healing, or monitoring the patient's condition during this prolonged recovery phase.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "delayed healing" for this subsequent encounter.
• Confirm the initial fracture was documented as an "open fracture type I or II" of the right femoral neck.
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures that are healing normally.
