Disp fx of base of nk of r femr, 7thG

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.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" or "delayed union" for a closed fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is of the "base of neck" and on the "right" side.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; use an initial encounter code for the first visit.
