Nondisp fx of base of nk of unsp femr, 7thM

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient who previously sustained an open fracture of the base of the femoral neck, specifically a Type I or II open fracture, which has since failed to heal properly (nonunion). The fracture itself remains in its original anatomical position without displacement.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing care for a patient with a previously treated open femoral neck fracture (Type I or II) where the bone fragments have not united. This would include scenarios such as follow-up appointments, imaging studies to assess nonunion, or planning for revision surgery due to the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and the "subsequent encounter" for the fracture.
• Verify the original fracture was an "open fracture type I or II" of the base of the femoral neck.
• Confirm the fracture is "nondisplaced" at the time of this subsequent encounter.
