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

This code describes a situation where a patient has a non-displaced fracture at the base of the neck of their right femur, and the fracture is now healing incorrectly (malunion). This specific code is used for follow-up encounters after the initial treatment, where the fracture has been managed non-surgically (closed fracture).

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed non-displaced right femoral neck fracture (base) presents with evidence of malunion, and the initial treatment was conservative. This applies to follow-up visits for monitoring, assessment of healing, or planning further intervention due to the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "base of neck" for the right femur.
• Verify that the encounter is "subsequent" and the fracture is a "closed fracture with malunion."
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures that are still in the acute healing phase without evidence of malunion.
