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

This code describes a fracture at the base of the femoral neck on the right side that has not shifted out of alignment. It specifically indicates that this is a follow-up visit for an open fracture (where the bone broke through the skin) classified as type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and the healing process is proceeding normally.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced open fracture of the base of the right femoral neck (type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) is being seen for routine follow-up care. This applies when the fracture is healing as expected without complications. It would be appropriate for office visits, cast changes, or imaging reviews during the routine healing phase.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "base of neck" for the right femur.
• Verify the original fracture was an open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and that this is a subsequent encounter for routine healing.
• Do not use this code if the fracture is displaced, located elsewhere on the femur, or if healing is complicated or delayed.
