Nondisp fx of base of neck of right femur, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a prior nondisplaced fracture of the base of the neck of the right femur. It indicates that the acute phase of the injury has passed, and the patient is now experiencing long-term effects, complications, or a healed state related to that specific fracture.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing issues, chronic pain, functional limitations, or a healed fracture site that is still being monitored, all directly attributable to a past nondisplaced fracture of the base of the right femoral neck. This is appropriate for follow-up visits long after the initial injury and treatment, where the primary focus is on the sequelae.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the prior nondisplaced fracture of the right femoral neck.
• This code should not be used for the initial acute injury or for active treatment of the fracture itself.
• Always sequence this code after any codes describing the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion, nonunion, osteoarthritis) if applicable.
