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

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient with a right femoral neck fracture that was initially open (severe, with significant soft tissue damage) and is now experiencing delayed healing. The fracture itself is located at the base of the femoral neck and remains in its anatomical position.

Use this code when documenting subsequent care for a patient whose initial open fracture of the right femoral neck (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) is not healing as expected. This applies to encounters where the focus is on managing the delayed union of the fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" and specifies the open fracture type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC).
• Confirm the fracture is nondisplaced and located at the base of the right femoral neck.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
