S72.009P
ICD-10-CMFracture of unspecified part of neck of unspecified femur, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with malunion
This code describes a situation where a patient is receiving follow-up care for a closed fracture of an unspecified part of the femoral neck, and the fracture has healed improperly (malunion). This indicates a previous injury that is now presenting with complications related to the healing process.
This code is appropriate for documenting subsequent encounters where a patient is being treated for a malunion of a previously sustained, closed femoral neck fracture. This could include evaluations for pain, limited range of motion, or planning for corrective surgery related to the malunion. It is used after the initial treatment of the fracture has concluded and the malunion has been identified.
