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

This code signifies a previously treated, non-displaced fracture located at the base of the neck of the right femur, which was initially an open fracture of type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC. The current encounter addresses a complication where the bone has healed in an abnormal position, known as malunion.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a history of a specific open femoral neck fracture (right side, non-displaced, base of neck) presents with evidence of malunion. It should be used when the malunion is being actively managed or evaluated, and the initial fracture was classified as an open type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" as the reason for the subsequent encounter.
• Verify the original fracture was an open type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC; otherwise, a different code for malunion of a closed or unspecified open fracture would be more appropriate.
• Confirm the fracture is of the right femur and located at the base of the neck, and was initially non-displaced.
