Nondisp midcervical fx l femur, subs for clos fx w malunion

This code describes a situation where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a left femur fracture located in the middle of the neck of the femur, which was initially treated without surgery (closed fracture). The fracture has not healed correctly, resulting in a malunion, and the bone fragments are still in their anatomical position (nondisplaced).

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed and treated nondisplaced midcervical left femur fracture is being managed for a confirmed malunion. This includes visits for monitoring, physical therapy, or discussions regarding further intervention for the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" and not "nonunion" or "delayed healing" for accurate code selection.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly stated as "nondisplaced" and "midcervical" of the left femur.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, meaning the initial treatment has already occurred.
