Nondisp midcervical fx unsp femr, 7thG

This code describes a femur fracture located in the middle portion of the femoral neck, which has not shifted out of alignment. It is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for this specific fracture, and the healing process is taking longer than expected without surgical intervention.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced midcervical femur fracture that is healing slowly. This includes appointments for cast changes, physical therapy evaluations, or imaging studies to assess the delayed healing of the closed fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and "midcervical" for accurate specificity.
• Confirm the encounter is for "delayed healing" of a "closed fracture" and not an initial treatment or routine follow-up for normal healing.
• Always pair with an external cause code if the injury mechanism is known and documented.
