Fx unsp prt of nk of unsp femr, 7thM

This code describes a femoral neck fracture that occurred in an unspecified part of the neck and in an unspecified femur. It specifically indicates a subsequent encounter for an open fracture classified as type I or II, and the fracture has failed to heal properly (nonunion).

This code is used when a patient presents for ongoing treatment of a previously diagnosed open femoral neck fracture (Gustilo type I or II) that has not united. This would include follow-up visits, cast changes, or further surgical interventions aimed at addressing the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and a "subsequent encounter" for an open fracture.
• Verify the original fracture was documented as an open fracture type I or II.
• Do not use for initial treatment or for closed fractures.
