Displ midcervical fx r femr, 7thH

This code signifies a fracture in the middle portion of the right femur's neck that has shifted from its normal alignment. It specifically indicates that this is not the initial treatment encounter, and the fracture is an open type I or II, meaning there's a wound communicating with the fracture site, and the healing process is taking longer than expected.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed displaced midcervical fracture of the right femur. This applies when the initial injury was an open fracture (type I or II) and the physician documents delayed healing, requiring continued management such as wound care, cast changes, or monitoring for nonunion.

• Ensure documentation specifies "subsequent encounter" and "delayed healing" for an open fracture type I or II.
• Verify the fracture location is precisely "midcervical" of the right femur.
• Do not use for initial treatment or for closed fractures.
