Nondisp midcervical fx l femr, 7thN

This code describes a non-displaced fracture located in the middle portion of the neck of the left femur that has failed to heal (nonunion). This specific nonunion is associated with an open fracture that was initially classified as Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, indicating significant soft tissue damage and contamination.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters when a patient is receiving ongoing treatment for a nonunion of a midcervical left femur fracture. It is crucial that the original injury was an open fracture of a severe type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) and that the fracture is now confirmed to be non-displaced. This code is used after the initial treatment of the fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and the "midcervical" location of the left femur fracture.
• Verify the original open fracture type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) is documented, as this is a specific inclusion criterion for this code.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, meaning it should not be used for the initial treatment of the fracture.
