Nondisp artic fx head of l femr, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient with a left femoral head fracture that involves the joint surface but is not displaced. The fracture is being managed non-surgically (closed treatment), and the healing process is progressing as expected without complications.

Use this code for subsequent visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced articular fracture of the left femoral head is being monitored for routine healing. This applies to follow-up appointments after initial treatment, such as cast checks, imaging reviews, or physical therapy evaluations, as long as the fracture is healing normally.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "left" femur and "nondisplaced articular fracture of head."
• Verify that the encounter is for "subsequent" care and that healing is "routine" (e.g., no delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion).
• Pair with an external cause code (V00-Y99) if the cause of the fracture is known and documented.
