S72.041G
ICD-10-CMDisplaced fracture of base of neck of right femur, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with delayed healing
This code signifies a fracture located at the base of the femoral neck on the right side, which has become displaced. The patient is currently undergoing treatment for this fracture, and the healing process is taking longer than typically expected for a closed fracture.
Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a right femoral neck fracture that was initially treated non-surgically or surgically (but remains closed), and the physician notes delayed union or prolonged healing. This is appropriate for subsequent encounters after the initial treatment phase.
