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

This code signifies a previously treated, but now healing, fracture at the base of the femoral neck in an unspecified femur. The fracture was initially an open fracture (Type I or II) and has healed in an unsatisfactory position, leading to malunion.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a known malunion of a nondisplaced femoral neck fracture. This is specifically for cases where the initial injury was an open fracture of Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II, and the patient is receiving ongoing treatment for the malunion.

• Confirm the fracture was initially an open fracture (Type I or II) and is now experiencing malunion.
• Ensure this is a subsequent encounter for ongoing management of the malunion, not the initial treatment.
• Verify the fracture location is specifically the base of the neck of the femur.
