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

This code signifies a fracture in the middle section of the right femur's neck that has not shifted out of alignment. The fracture is not healing as expected (nonunion) and the patient is presenting for follow-up care, with the skin over the fracture remaining intact.

This code is appropriate for a patient who has previously been treated for a nondisplaced midcervical fracture of the right femur and is now returning for subsequent care. It specifically applies when imaging or clinical assessment indicates that the fracture is failing to unite. This code would be used for office visits, follow-up imaging, or other non-surgical encounters related to the ongoing management of this specific fracture complication.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and "subsequent encounter" for this specific fracture.
• Verify the fracture location is "midcervical" and laterality is "right femur."
• Do not use this code for the initial treatment of the fracture or for open fractures.
