Nondisp fx of base of nk of r femr, 7thE

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a patient who previously sustained a fracture at the base of the neck of their right femur. The fracture was initially open (meaning the bone broke through the skin or there was a wound communicating with the fracture site) and is now healing routinely. The fracture itself is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment.

Use this code for subsequent encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced open fracture (Type I or II) of the right femoral neck is receiving ongoing care and demonstrating expected healing progress. This would include routine follow-up appointments for cast checks, physical therapy evaluations, or medication management during the healing phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right femur" for accurate laterality and displacement.
• Verify the original fracture was classified as an "open fracture type I or II" to justify the "E" seventh character.
• Only use for subsequent encounters where routine healing is documented; different seventh characters apply for delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
