Nondisp midcervical fx unsp femr, 7thP

This code describes a situation where a patient has a mid-neck fracture of the femur that was not displaced at the time of injury, but is now healing improperly (malunion). The encounter represents a follow-up visit for this closed fracture.

This code is appropriate for documenting subsequent encounters for patients who have previously sustained a midcervical femoral fracture that was initially closed and nondisplaced, but is now exhibiting signs of malunion. This would include follow-up appointments for monitoring healing, assessing pain, or planning further intervention for the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and that the fracture was initially "nondisplaced" and "closed."
• Verify the specific location of the fracture is "midcervical" and not another part of the femoral neck.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; use an initial encounter code for the original injury.
