Nondisp fx of epiphy (separation) (upper) of unsp femr, 7thE

This code describes a fracture involving the growth plate (epiphysis) at the top of an unspecified femur that is not displaced. It specifically indicates that the fracture was an open fracture of type I or II, and the patient is now in a subsequent encounter where routine healing is occurring.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient is recovering from an open, non-displaced epiphyseal fracture of the upper femur, and the wound was classified as either Type I or Type II. This applies when the healing process is progressing as expected without complications.

• Ensure documentation specifies "subsequent encounter" and "routine healing."
• Confirm the fracture is epiphyseal, non-displaced, and located in the upper femur.
• Verify the original open fracture was classified as Type I or Type II.
