Nondisp artic fx head of r femr, 7thQ

This code describes a follow-up encounter for a patient who previously sustained a fracture of the head of their right femur that did not involve displacement of the bone fragments at the joint surface. The initial injury was an open fracture, classified as Type I or II, and has since healed with an unsatisfactory alignment of the bone (malunion).

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient presents with complications related to a malunion of a previously treated nondisplaced articular fracture of the right femoral head. This applies when the initial injury was an open fracture (Type I or II) and the current visit addresses the malunion, such as for evaluation, management, or surgical planning for corrective procedures.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" as the complication of the healed fracture.
• Verify the initial fracture was an "open fracture type I or II" and "nondisplaced articular fracture of the head of the right femur."
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
