Nondisplaced midcervical fracture of right femur, sequela

This code signifies a healed or chronic fracture of the right femur, specifically in the midcervical region, that was initially nondisplaced. The "sequela" designation indicates that the patient is still receiving care or experiencing residual effects related to the original injury.

This code is appropriate for encounters where a patient is being treated for complications, long-term effects, or follow-up care related to a previously sustained, nondisplaced midcervical fracture of the right femur. This includes situations like ongoing pain, limited range of motion, or the need for hardware removal after the initial healing phase.

• Ensure the documentation clearly indicates the fracture is of the right femur and specifically midcervical.
• The "S" at the end signifies sequela; only use this if the encounter is for a late effect or complication of the original injury.
• Do not use this code for the initial active treatment phase of the fracture.
