Displ midcervical fx r femr, 7thM

This code signifies a fracture located in the middle portion of the right femur's neck that has shifted out of its normal alignment. It specifically indicates that the initial injury was an open fracture (Type I or II) and that the bone has failed to heal properly in a subsequent encounter.

Apply this code when documenting ongoing care for a patient with a previously treated open midcervical fracture of the right femur where nonunion has been identified. This would be used for follow-up visits, surgical revisions for nonunion, or other treatments addressing the persistent lack of healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the right femur's midcervical region.
• Verify the original fracture was an open fracture (Type I or II) to justify the "open fracture" specificity.
• Confirm this is a "subsequent encounter" and not the initial treatment for the fracture.
