Unsp fx head of r femr, 7thH

This code describes a fracture of the head of the right femur where the specific type of fracture (e.g., displaced, nondisplaced) is not documented. It indicates that the initial injury was an open fracture of Type I or II, and the patient is now presenting for follow-up care due to delayed healing of that fracture.

Use this code for a patient presenting for ongoing management of an open Type I or II fracture of the right femoral head that is not healing as expected. This applies when the specific fracture displacement or other characteristics of the femoral head fracture are not specified in the medical record.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for the subsequent encounter.
• Verify the initial fracture was an open Type I or II; if not, a different subsequent encounter code would be appropriate.
• If the specific type of femoral head fracture is documented (e.g., displaced), a more specific code should be used.
