Displ midcervical fx r femur, subs for clos fx w nonunion

This code signifies a fracture located in the middle portion of the neck of the right femur that has shifted out of its normal alignment. The fracture is not healing as expected (nonunion), and the patient is being seen for follow-up care after initial treatment, with the skin over the fracture remaining intact.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's visit for ongoing management of a previously treated, displaced midcervical fracture of the right femur that has failed to unite. This includes scenarios such as cast changes, physical therapy evaluations, or imaging studies performed to assess the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the "midcervical" region of the right femur.
• Confirm the encounter is for "subsequent" care and the fracture is "closed" (no open wound).
• Distinguish from initial encounters or encounters for malunion, which would require different codes.
