Nondisp midcervical fx unsp femr, 7thK

This code describes a situation where a patient has a fracture in the middle part of their femur (thigh bone) that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. Crucially, this fracture has failed to heal properly (nonunion) and the patient is presenting for follow-up care related to this ongoing issue.

Use this code when documenting subsequent encounters for a patient with a previously diagnosed midcervical femur fracture that has not united. This applies to situations where the fracture was initially closed and the patient is receiving ongoing treatment or evaluation for the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and that the fracture is "nondisplaced" and "midcervical."
• Verify this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
• Confirm the fracture was a closed fracture at the time of injury.
