Nondisplaced fracture of base of neck of left femur, subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with routine healing

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient with a nondisplaced fracture located at the base of the neck of their left femur. The initial injury was an open fracture, classified as type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and is currently healing routinely without complications.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code when documenting subsequent care for a patient whose left femoral neck fracture, initially an open type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, is progressing as expected. This includes routine follow-up appointments, cast changes, or physical therapy sessions during the healing phase.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure the "F" seventh character is appropriate for routine healing in a subsequent encounter.
Verify the fracture is specifically at the base of the neck and on the left side.
Confirm the initial fracture was an open type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, as this impacts the code selection.
