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

This code signifies a previously treated fracture at the base of the neck of the right femur that was initially an open fracture (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) and has now failed to heal properly, resulting in a nonunion. The fracture itself is currently in a nondisplaced position.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a right femoral neck fracture that was initially open and is now complicated by nonunion. This applies to situations where the patient is receiving ongoing treatment for the nonunion, such as surgical intervention or prolonged immobilization, after the initial fracture management.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies the right femur, base of neck, and the nonunion status.
• Verify the original fracture was an open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
