Unsp fx shaft of unsp femr, 7thE

This code describes a follow-up encounter for an open fracture of the femoral shaft, where the specific location on the shaft is not documented, and the fracture type was initially classified as Type I or II (Gustilo-Anderson classification). At this subsequent encounter, the fracture is healing routinely without complications.

Use this code for patients presenting for routine follow-up appointments after initial treatment of an open femoral shaft fracture (Type I or II) where the exact shaft location was not specified. This applies when the physician documents normal healing progress and no complications are present.

• Ensure documentation specifies "subsequent encounter" and "routine healing."
• Only use when the specific femoral shaft location (e.g., proximal, distal) is not documented.
• Confirm the initial fracture was an open fracture type I or II.
