Nondisp artic fx head of unsp femr, 7thF

This code signifies a non-displaced fracture of the femoral head that extends into the joint surface, affecting an unspecified femur. The fracture was initially an open fracture of type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and the patient is now in the healing phase with an expected routine recovery.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving care for a previously diagnosed open articular fracture of the femoral head (types IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) that is now non-displaced and healing without complications. This applies when the patient is beyond the initial active treatment phase but still under care for the fracture.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states "subsequent encounter" and "routine healing."
• Verify the original fracture was an open articular fracture of the femoral head, specifically type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• Confirm the fracture is non-displaced at the time of this encounter.
