Nondisp midcervical fx r femr, 7thQ

This code describes a right femur fracture, specifically in the middle of the neck (cervical region), that is not displaced. It indicates a follow-up visit for an open fracture (Type I or II) that has healed incorrectly, resulting in malunion.

This code is appropriate when a patient presents for ongoing care or evaluation of a previously sustained, non-displaced midcervical fracture of the right femur that was initially an open fracture (Type I or II) and has subsequently healed in an unsatisfactory alignment. It signifies a "subsequent encounter" for this specific complication.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" as the complication of the open fracture.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care, not initial treatment, as indicated by "subsequent encounter."
• Confirm the fracture is of the right femur, midcervical region, and was originally an open fracture type I or II.
