Nondisp midcervical fx unsp femr, 7thM

This code signifies a non-displaced fracture located in the middle portion of the femur's neck, which was initially an open fracture (Type I or II). The current encounter is for ongoing management of this fracture, specifically addressing a nonunion where the bone has failed to heal properly.

Use this code when a patient presents for follow-up care of a previously sustained, non-displaced midcervical femur fracture that was initially open. This code is appropriate when documentation explicitly states that the fracture has not united and is being treated as a nonunion.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nonunion" for this subsequent encounter.
• Verify the original fracture was an "open fracture type I or II" and the current fracture is "nondisplaced midcervical."
• Do not use for initial encounters or for malunion; a different code would apply.
