Nondisp midcervical fx unsp femr, 7thE

This code describes a fracture in the middle portion of the femoral neck that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their normal alignment. It specifically indicates an open fracture (where the bone breaks through the skin) classified as Type I or II, and the patient is in a subsequent phase of care with expected routine healing.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced midcervical open femoral fracture (Type I or II) is receiving ongoing treatment and demonstrating routine healing. It would be used after the initial treatment phase, such as during cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy sessions, as long as healing is progressing as expected.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "midcervical" for the femur fracture.
• Confirm the open fracture type (I or II) and that the encounter is for subsequent care with routine healing.
• Do not use this code for initial encounters, malunion, nonunion, or delayed healing.
