Displ midcervical fx r femr, 7thE

This code signifies a fracture in the middle portion of the right thigh bone that is no longer in its proper alignment. It specifically indicates that the skin was broken (an open fracture of Type I or II severity) and the patient is now in a follow-up phase where the bone is healing as expected.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced midcervical open fracture (Type I or II) of the right femur is receiving routine follow-up care and demonstrating normal healing progress. It would be used after the initial treatment phase, during office visits or other encounters focused on monitoring the fracture's recovery.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displaced" and "midcervical" for the right femur.
• Verify the open fracture type (I or II) and confirm "routine healing" is documented.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter code would be used for the acute injury.
