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

This code signifies a displaced fracture located at the base of the neck of the right femur, which has progressed to nonunion. It specifically applies when the initial injury was an open fracture classified as Type I or Type II, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care related to this ongoing complication.

Use this code for subsequent encounters where a patient is being treated for a right femoral neck fracture (subcapital or basicervical) that has failed to heal (nonunion). The original injury must have been an open fracture, and the displacement of the fracture fragments is still present. This code is appropriate for ongoing management, such as preparing for revision surgery or monitoring the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the right femur.
• Verify the original fracture was an open fracture, Type I or II, as this is crucial for code selection.
• Confirm the encounter is for follow-up care of the nonunion, not the initial treatment.
