Displ midcervical fx r femr, 7thQ

This code signifies a previously treated fracture in the middle portion of the right femur's neck, which was initially an open fracture (Type I or II) and has since healed improperly, resulting in a malunion. The displacement indicates the bone fragments are not in their correct anatomical alignment. This specific code is used for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the fracture.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing management, evaluation, or treatment of a malunited midcervical fracture of the right femur, where the original injury was an open fracture of Type I or II. This applies to situations such as physical therapy, follow-up imaging, or discussions regarding corrective surgery for the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "subsequent encounter" and specifies the malunion of a previously open fracture.
• Verify the fracture location is "midcervical" and on the "right femur."
• Do not use for initial treatment of the fracture or for nonunion; a malunion implies some degree of healing has occurred.
