Fx unsp prt of nk of l femr, 7thN

This code signifies a fracture located in an unspecified part of the neck of the left femur that has failed to heal properly (nonunion). It specifically applies to cases where the initial injury was an open fracture classified as type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care related to this nonunion.

Use this code when documenting a patient encounter for ongoing management of a nonunion of a left femoral neck fracture. The original injury must have been an open fracture of Gustilo-Anderson type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC. This code is appropriate for subsequent visits after the initial treatment of the fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and the "left" femur.
• Verify the original fracture was an open fracture classified as type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
