Nondisp fx of base of nk of l femr, 7thE

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient who sustained a fracture at the base of the neck of their left femur. The fracture is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. This specific code is used when the initial injury was an open fracture of type I or II, and the healing process is progressing routinely.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits, such as office visits or follow-up imaging, where the patient's left femoral neck fracture (originally open type I or II) is being monitored for routine healing. It would be used after the initial treatment of the open fracture, indicating ongoing care for the healing bone.

• Ensure the documentation specifies a "subsequent encounter" and "routine healing" for an open fracture type I or II.
• Verify the fracture location is precisely the "base of neck of left femur" and is "nondisplaced."
• Do not use this code for initial treatment, malunion, nonunion, or delayed healing.
