Unsp intracap fx r femr, 7thH

This code describes a fracture within the joint capsule of the right femur, where the specific type of intracapsular fracture is not documented. It indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care for an open fracture (Type I or II) that is experiencing delayed healing.

Use this code for follow-up encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed open intracapsular right femur fracture (Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II) is not healing as expected. This applies when the specific intracapsular fracture type (e.g., femoral neck, head) was not initially specified and remains unspecified.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for an open fracture.
• Verify the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment.
• Confirm the laterality is "right" and the fracture is "intracapsular" and "unspecified."
