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

This code signifies a fracture of the right femoral neck, specifically at its base, that has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a later stage of care for this injury, and the fracture is not healing as quickly as expected, but the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed, non-displaced right femoral neck base fracture. This is appropriate when the physician notes delayed healing of the closed fracture during a subsequent encounter, such as during a cast change, follow-up imaging, or physical therapy visit.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "base of neck" for the right femur.
• Confirm the encounter is for "subsequent care" and that "delayed healing" is documented.
• Verify the fracture is "closed" (no open wound communicating with the fracture site).
