Nondisp fx of epiphy (separation) (upper) of l femr, 7thD

This code signifies a non-displaced fracture of the upper growth plate (epiphysis) of the left femur. It indicates that the fracture is currently undergoing routine healing during a follow-up visit, and no surgical intervention or complex care is required for this stage of recovery.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed closed, non-displaced epiphyseal fracture of the upper left femur. It applies when the fracture is healing as expected without complications, such as infection or malunion.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "epiphysis (upper)" of the left femur.
• The "D" seventh character is crucial for subsequent encounters with routine healing.
• Confirm the fracture is closed; open fractures would require a different seventh character.
