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

This code signifies a non-displaced fracture located at the base of the neck of the right femur that was initially an open fracture (Type I or II). The patient is currently presenting for follow-up care due to the fracture failing to heal properly (nonunion).

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed open, non-displaced fracture of the right femoral neck (base) is being treated for nonunion. This would include situations where surgical intervention or other treatments are being performed or monitored to address the lack of healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and the "subsequent encounter" status.
• Verify the original fracture was an "open fracture type I or II" and "nondisplaced" at the base of the femoral neck.
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures that have healed.
